1Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5.

4Meanwhile, bring a small pan of water to the boil and cook the frozen peas for 3-4 mins, until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
5Reserve the cooking juices from the chicken, then carefully carve the meat off the thighs and legs, saving the rest of the chicken for another meal.
6In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, peas, sweet potatoes and chicken.
7Before serving, stir 2tbsp of the reserved chicken cooking juices with the lemon juice and drizzle over the salad to dress. Sprinkle with the Parmesan shavings and sprigs of thyme to serve.
