Time 30m

Yield 1 to 4 super salad suppers

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast cutlets (sometimes marked "thin cut")
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, enough to just coat the breast slices
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, just eyeball it
Grill seasoning blend, or coarse salt and pepper
4 stems fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped, about 2 tablespoons
1 pound center cut bacon, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 pound fresh spinach leaves, trimmed and cleaned
8 gourmet white stuffing mushrooms, thinly sliced
8 radishes, thinly sliced
4 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball the amount, plus 1 tablespoons
1 large shallot, minced
3 rounded spoonfuls Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 pound boneless chicken breast cutlets
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, 2 splashes
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, eyeball the amount
Grill seasoning, such as Montreal Seasoning by McCormick, or, coarse salt and black pepper
1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped from stem and finely chopped
4 slices center cut bacon
1/4 pound fresh spinach, trimmed and cleaned
2 gourmet white stuffing mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 red radishes, thinly sliced
1 scallion, thinly sliced on an angle
1/2 shallot, chopped
1 /4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, just eyeball it
1 rounded spoonful Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Coat chicken with balsamic, oil, seasoning and rosemary and set aside. In a skillet, add chopped bacon, work in 2 batches if preparing salad for 4. Brown bacon over medium high heat, then transfer the bits to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Using center cut bacon will cut down on the pan drippings that spatter.
  • Coarsely chop spinach leaves and add to salad bowl. Top with mushrooms, radishes, scallions. Season salad with salt and pepper.
  • Wipe out the bacon pan and return to stove turning heat back to medium low. Add 1 tablespoon oil for your dressing and shallots and reduce heat to medium. Saute shallots for 3 minutes. Remove oil and shallots from heat.
  • In a bowl, combine mustard and balsamic vinegar. Stream in 2/3 cup oil slowly while whisking the dressing to emulsify it. Add warm shallots and toss with spinach salad to coat evenly. Add cooked bacon and toss again.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken cutlets, 4 minutes on each side, in a single layer. Slice breasts on an angle on your cutting board once they are all out of the pan. Pile spinach salad on to dinner plate/plates. Top each salad with 2 sliced chicken cutlet pieces. For individual portion follow the above method.

Avoid this recipe at all costs! The chicken was undercooked and the balsamic glaze was more like a thick paste. The spinach salad was also soggy and inedible. This was the worst dish I've ever made.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The chicken was tough and the balsamic glaze was burnt. The spinach salad was also limp and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the balsamic glaze was too thick and syrupy. The spinach salad was also wilted and not very fresh. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

Meh. This dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit bland and the balsamic glaze was too sweet. The spinach salad was also nothing special. I wouldn't make this recipe again.
