Time 40m

Yield One dinner-sized salad

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon butter or oil, for sauteing
2 shallots, sliced very thin
1/4 cup walnut or grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh chives, marjoram or sage, minced
3 to 4 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 small new potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 small head (three inches) fresh fennel, bulb only, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup haricot verts or American green beans
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 small shiitake mushrooms, caps only, sliced
2 cups mixed greens (such as arugula, red oak, frisee, Boston or bibb lettuce)
1/4 cup lentils, cooked according to package directions

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • To make the salad dressing, heat the butter in a small saute pan until the foam subsides. Add the shallots and saute over a medium flame until they are golden brown. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the walnut oil, vinegar, the chives, marjoram or sage and the shallots. Set aside.
  • Rub the chicken breast with about 1 teaspoon of the salad dressing.
  • Toss the diced potatoes and fennel with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place them with the chicken on a sheet pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, bring a small pot of salted water to the boil. Add the beans to the water and, after it begins to boil again, drain and submerge in cold water. Drain and reserve.
  • In a small saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the shiitakes and saute until golden brown and crunchy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
  • Slice the chicken into thin strips when it is cool enough to handle. Toss the chicken, mushrooms, lentils, vegetables and greens with the dressing.
  • Serve as a meal with crusty whole-grain bread.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. However, the chicken was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were fresh and crisp.
