Sauteed Herbed Chicken Salad Food

CHICKEN SALAD WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the chicken briefly under cool running water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Add the chicken and cook 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and immediately place the pan in the oven. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when tested with an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, mustard, celery, celery leaves, red onion, herbs, celery seeds and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
• When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut it into a 1/2-inch dice, add it to the mayonnaise mixture and mix well. If not serving immediately, transfer to the refrigerator to chill. Serve in avocado halves, if desired.

HERBED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a pot large enough so that they are either in a single layer or just slightly overlapping.
• Cover the chicken with cold water and add the wine if using. Bring the water to a boil. You'll probably see some white scummy foam collecting on the surface as the water comes to a boil (this is fine!) - if you'll be using the poaching liquid for a soup or other recipe, you can skim this off; otherwise, it's fine to leave it.
• Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove the chicken from the liquid and wait at least a few minutes before shredding. You can use your fingers once it's cool enough, or two forks.
• Place the chicken in a bowl, add 1/3 of the Herbed Mayonnaise and the tomatoes, if using. Toss until the chicken is well coated with the mayo dressing. Add more mayo if the mixture seems too dry. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

SAUTEED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH FRESH HERBS AND GINGER

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and place them skin side down in the pan. Cook, turning once, until firm to the touch, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate.
• Add the lime juice to the skillet, and scrape up any browned bits that cling to the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth and ginger, and bring to a boil. Off the heat, add the basil and mint to the pan and swirl the pan to combine.
• Divide the chicken between the 2 plates and spoon the herb sauce over the chicken. Serve.
