Combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and a good grinding of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Cut the chicken fillets into thin strips approximately 5cm long. Toss the strips in the flour to coat evenly. Then gently toss the dusted the chicken strips in the egg ensuring that they are completely coated.

Dip the chicken pieces into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, (I find it easiest to coat them individually). Arrange the crumbed chicken pieces in a single layer on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Bake the goujons at 190u00b0C for 15 minutes. Turn the goujons over and bake for a further 5-10 minutes until cooked through.

Place the flaked almonds in a small, dry saucepan over a medium heat. Stir regularly until the almonds are golden and toasted (this will just take a few minutes), then set aside.

To assemble the salad: arrange the mixed leaves on a large platter. Arrange the goujons, roasted butternut and tomatoes on top. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and drizzle with balsamic vinegar, or your favourite dressing.
