Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and add the chicken. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool.

Meanwhile, peel the ginger and finely grate. Holding the pulp over a small bowl, squeeze with your fingers to extract the ginger juice (discard the pulp). Add the honey and whisk with a fork to combine, then whisk in the buttermilk and mayonnaise. Season with salt.

Quarter and core the apples and cut into thin slices lengthways, then in half crossways. Immediately toss with the lemon juice.
