This is my plan for Max and why I love to have him help me in the kitchen so much. I’m trying to embrace the mess.One of the most wonderful salads I’ve had in a long time and I’m sure you know exactly what it’s like to be in a salad rut.
ROSEMARY CHICKEN, BACON AND AVOCADO SALAD
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
- 6 cups spring greens and/or butter lettuce
- 1 bunch watercress
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 large avocado, thinly sliced
- rosemary vinaigrette
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the bacon. Cook until it’s crispy and the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain any excess grease.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cover with the rosemary. In the same skillet, over medium-high heat, add the chicken and cook until golden and crisp on both sides, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and let sit for a moment while you assemble the salad, then slice it.
- Toss the greens with the watercress and the tomatoes. Top with the sliced chicken, the bacon and the avocado. Drizzle with the rosemary vinaigrette!
