Provided by Caroline's Cooking

Categories     Lunch or main

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 leaves romaine (approx)
3 1/2 oz chicken tenders (95g, 1-2 pieces, approx weight (or thigh))
3 slices smoked bacon (2 1/2 oz/75g approx (streaky))
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice (or wine vinegar)
1 tsp Dijon mustard (or grain mustard)
2 tsp honey

Steps:

  • Warm a small-medium skillet over a medium-high heat. When it's warm add the bacon and cook until gently brown and ideally crisp on both sides.
  • Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside. Add the chicken to the pan and cook a few minutes on both sides until cooked through.
  • Thinly slice the romaine and cut larger pieces in half (eg at top of leaves). Place all of the dressing ingredients (oil, lemon, mustard and honey) in a small bowl or jar and whisk/shake to combine. You can do these as the chicken and bacon cooks.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from pan and slice both the chicken and bacon into small bite-sized pieces. Add both to the sliced romaine, drizzle over the dressing then toss to mix. Serve, ideally with meats still warm or at room temperature.

I always seem to have leftover cooked chicken. This simple, tasty salad is a great use of your leftover chicken, either white meat, dark meat, or a combination! Romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, avocado, and cherry tomatoes combine with ranch dressing, and everything is topped off with crunchy bacon. Use purchased ranch salad dressing, or stir up one of the buttermilk dressing recipes on the site. Enjoy for a hearty lunch with some crackers, or for dinner, with a crusty bread.
