Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup sweetened dried cherries or cranberries
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped
1 bulb fennel, trimmed and chopped
1/2 cup walnut piece
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 leaves romaine lettuce

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a large saucepan and pour over enough water to cover. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • Drain and, when cool enough to handle, cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Transfer the still warm chicken to a large bowl and add the cherries, apples, fennel, walnuts, and chives. Toss to combine.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, and lemon zest. Add to the chicken mixture and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the lettuce leaves and serve. If serving chilled, you can make the chicken mixture up to 2 days in advance and store in a sealable container in the refrigerator.

I didn't have any walnuts on hand, so I used pecans instead. They worked just as well.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but this dish was surprisingly good. The cherry-walnut sauce was delicious and the chicken was cooked perfectly.
