Warm Winter Salad

Ingredients

  1. 8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed of fat
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1 pear, sliced
    1 small shallot, minced
    3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
    2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    1 small head radicchio, thinly sliced
    1 small fennel bulb, cored and thinly sliced
    1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks
    1 tablespoon chopped walnuts, toasted
    1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
    6 large butter lettuce leaves
    1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola or goat cheese

Directions

  1. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan and add lightly salted water to cover; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. Use 2 forks to shred into bite-size pieces.
  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pears and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
  3. Whisk shallot, vinegar and mustard in a small bowl; add to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the cooked chicken, radicchio, fennel, carrot and walnuts. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, about 3 minutes. Return the pears to the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Divide lettuce leaves between 2 plates. Top with the warm chicken salad and sprinkle with cheese.

Serves 2.
