5 - meduim potatoes (peeled and diced not to small of pieces)
2 tablespoon(s) grapeseed oil
FINISHING TOUCH
- a little drizzle of tuffle oil over finished salad(optional)

Steps:

prepare all the vegetables , place the peeled and diced potatoes into a steamer (double boiler)and let steam for 8 - 10 minutes so the potatoes become a little tender . we don't want them too soft at this stage just part cooked .
place a large pan over a medium heat ,pour in the tablespoons of oil . To that add the part cooked potatoes and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the potatoes cook fully and start to crisp up around the edges..
Then add to the potatoes all the prepared vegetables and cooked chicken and cook for a further 5 minutes till all the vegetables are tender . Add a little salt and pepper to season.
While everything is in the pan, start to get your plates ready , with the fresh rocket salad leaves. Grab a hand full of rocket leaves and place on your plate then drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar over them . Then on top of that place your warm chicken salad from the pan and add an other drizzle of balsamic vinegar over your chicken salad and to finish it off nicely, a drizzle of truffle oil . This adds great rustic flavour . And there you have a delicious mouth watering warm chicken salad ..enjoy.... :)
