Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings of each dish

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast, 6 to 8 ounces each
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, eyeball it, just enough to coat chicken lightly
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 stems rosemary, leaves stripped and chopped, about 2 tablespoons
Salt and coarse black pepper
4 cloves garlic, cracked away from skin with a whack against the flat of your knife
1 package, 12 to 16 ounces, fresh ravioli, any flavor filling
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 handfuls grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
6 slices pancetta, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, eyeball it
1 bunch, about 10 ounces flat-leaf spinach
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Coat chicken in balsamic vinegar, then olive oil. Season chicken with rosemary, salt and pepper and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil for ravioli. Salt water and drop ravioli in water. Cook 8 minutes or until raviolis expand, float to top of water, and are al dente.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken breasts and cracked garlic to the pan. Cook chicken 12 minutes, or until juices run clear, turning occasionally. The balsamic vinegar will produce a deep brown, sweet finish on the chicken as it cooks.
  • When the chicken is 2 or 3 minutes away from done, heat a second skillet over medium low to medium heat. To the second skillet, add butter to the pan and let it begin to brown.
  • Remove chicken from the first skillet and transfer to a warm platter. In a skillet over medium high heat and add the pancetta. Brown the pancetta bits, about 2 or 3 minutes, then transfer to paper towels to drain and return pan to heat, reducing heat to medium. Add oil and shallots to the pan and let the shallots saute 2 minutes.
  • When the butter for the ravioli has browned, add cooked ravioli to the pan and turn in butter to heat through. Add balsamic vinegar to the ravioli and cook a minute or 2 longer to reduce the vinegar and glaze the ravioli. The vinegar will become thick and syrup like. Add cheese, parsley, salt and pepper to the pasta and remove the pan from the heat.
  • To the sauteed shallots for the spinach salad, add sugar and cook sugar with shallots 1 minute. Add vinegar to the pan, scraping up pan drippings. Add spinach to the dressing and turn to wilt and coat it evenly in sweet vinaigrette. Add crisp pancetta to the salad.
  • Serve chicken along side ravioli and spinach salad, all on the same dinner plate.

ROSEMARY CHICKEN COUSCOUS SALAD



Rosemary Chicken Couscous Salad image

This is a wonderful summer salad. Fresh herbs keep the salad light, while the chicken and feta cheese make it hearty enough to serve for a main meal. Use as a side dish by omitting the chicken and adding chopped artichoke hearts. The salad also works wonderfully with grilled salmon or chicken.

ROSEMARY & CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH



Rosemary & Chicken Salad Sandwich image

Chicken and Rosemary are my favorite and I really like this chicken salad sandwich. The bites of fresh rosemary add a unique flavor to every bite. The crispness of the bell pepper, celery, and onion keeps it moist enough so you don't have to overpower it with mayonnaise and get a more natural taste of the ingredients.

ROSEMARY CHICKEN SALAD



ROSEMARY CHICKEN SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Poultry     No-Cook     Quick & Easy     Lunch     Fall     Summer     Healthy

Yield 5 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups chopped roasted skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 3/4 pound) $
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped smoked almonds
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt $
1/4 cup light mayonnaise $
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • combine & let stand 30min for flavors

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use cooked chicken that is moist and flavorful. Rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken breasts are both good options.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. If you're using rotisserie chicken, heat it through gently until it is warmed through.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh rosemary is essential for this recipe. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can substitute dried rosemary, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You can always add more dressing if needed, but it's hard to take it away.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Chicken salad is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Rosemary chicken salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its fresh flavors and creamy texture, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
