If fresh peas aren't available, thawed frozen peas make an excellent substitute. Look for tender mâche at farmers' markets and natural-foods stores.

  • Place a steamer basket in a large saucepan, add 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Put potatoes in the basket, cover and steam until barely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on size. When cool enough to handle, slice or quarter.

  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Using two forks, shred into bite-size pieces.

  • Add mâche (or spinach), peas and shallot along with the potatoes and chicken to the dressing; gently toss to coat.
