A delicious main dish chicken salad. Ingredients:
6 dried figs |
2/3 cup walnut halves |
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts |
1/3 cup plus 1 t olive oil |
salt and pepper to taste |
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary |
1 bag mixed greens salad mix |
1 1/2 tablespoons wine vinegar |
1/4 pound gorgonzola, crumbled |
Directions:
1. Place the figs in a small pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, turn off the heat, cover and let stand until the figs are plumped up (about 15 minutes). Drain and quarter.
2. Toast the walnuts over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, toast them in a 350 degrees F oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Or just leave them untoasted.
3. Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and rosemary, place in the skillet and cook until done. Slice into 1/4 serving pieces.
4. Combine olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl or shaker jar.
5. Wash and dry the salad greens. Toss with the dressing. Place salad greens on individual plates, and top with chicken, walnuts, and figs.
