Shredded Chicken Salad with Sherry Dressing

Prepare this dish using a chicken that you roasted yourself, or to save time, purchase a rotisserie chicken, available at most supermarkets. Here, shreds of roasted chicken partner with tender spring onions and watercress greens in a seasonal salad. If you can find fresh English peas, which begin to appear in markets in early spring, use them in place of the frozen peas (shell them first and then blanch according to the recipe directions).
