BREAD-BAKED CHICKEN & SUMMER GARDEN SALAD



Bread-baked chicken & summer garden salad image

Bake chicken legs in a bread crust to lock in the moisture and keep them really juicy, then add the crust to tomato, carrot and leaf salad for extra crunch

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 chicken legs
200g strong bread flour , plus extra for dusting
5g fast-action dried yeast
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tsp picked thyme leaves
2 handfuls mixed lettuce
1 carrot , peeled into ribbons
1 heirloom tomato , cut into wedges
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
4 anchovy fillets , cut lengthways
salad cream , to serve

Steps:

  • To make the crust, combine all the ingredients with a pinch of salt. Pour in 120ml of warm water and bring everything together, then knead for about 10 mins to form a smooth ball of dough. Divide the dough into two balls, then roll out each one to a thickness of 0.5cm on a lightly floured surface.
  • Lay a chicken leg in the middle of each sheet of dough, then fold in the sides to form parcels - a bit like a pasty. Put the parcels on a tray lined with baking parchment. Can be prepared a few hours ahead and chilled in the fridge until ready to cook.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the chicken parcels for 45 mins, then remove from the oven and leave to stand for 20 mins. Carefully open the parcels with a sharp serrated knife, then lift the chicken onto a baking tray. Grill the chicken for 5 mins to crisp up and colour the skin - or use a blowtorch if you have one, which would be faster and more even.
  • Chop some of the bread parcel into chunks and grill until crisp, then transfer to a bowl and toss with the lettuce, carrot and tomatoes. Dress the salad with the olive oil and the vinegar. Serve each chicken leg with some salad topped with the anchovies, and with a blob of salad cream on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables. This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor and nutrients.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of vegetables. There are endless possibilities, so get creative and find what you like best.
  • If you're using a store-bought dressing, be sure to taste it first. You may want to add some additional herbs, spices, or vinegar to taste.
  • Serve your salad immediately. This will prevent the vegetables from wilting and losing their flavor.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be sure to drain off any excess dressing before serving.

Conclusion:

Garden vegetable salad with chicken is a delicious, healthy, and refreshing meal that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy meal, give this salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
