Step 5: Put chicken, mayo and lemon juice in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Step 6: Blanch beans in boiling water for 1 minute, then refresh in iced water and finely chop and add to chicken mixture with eschalot.

Step 7: Finely chop 1/2 of the dill and stir into mixture with pine nuts.

Step 8: Spoon into parmesan baskets and top with remaining dill and extra eschalot to serve.
