Poach chicken breasts in lightly salted water or

season the chicken with salt and pepper and bake it at
375 F. for 25 minutes). When chicken is cool, remove
the meat from the bones and slice the meat thinly
against the grain.

Cook linguine in salted water according to package
instructions. Rinse with cold water to cool. Drain
linguine.

Place the chicken, linguine, peppers, scallions and
peanuts in a large bowl.

Prepare vinaigrette by whisking together all the
ingredients. Gradually pour the dressing over the
salad; mix well. Garnish with cucumber slices (peel
the cucumber, cut it in half, remove the seeds and
slice it) and watercress sprigs.
