A bountiful lunch made with exotic flavors. Use leftover cooked chicken breasts to cut the total time for this recipe in half.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Makes 4 (2-cup) servings
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp minced red onion (use our small vegetable chopper for instant mincing)
- 2 Tbsp sherry vinegar
- 5 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided (or use our oil sprayer for no mess)
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (weigh on our digital scale for precision)
- 1 head green leaf lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces (8 cups) - use our food chopper for quick, safe cutting and mixing.
- 1 pink grapefruit, sectioned (cut it on our kitchen sink rack for efficiency)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper (or use our electric seasoning mill)
Preparation:
- Combine the onion, vinegar, 4 Tbsp of the oil, ¼ tsp salt, and ⅛ tsp pepper in a jar with a lid. Close tightly and shake vigorously to combine.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (use our heat induction skillet for even cooking) cook the chicken until browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
- Remove from the heat, cut into ½-inch slices, and toss with 3 Tbsp of the dressing.
- Gently toss together the lettuce, grapefruit, and remaining dressing in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the salad topped with chicken slices.
- Bonus: store your extra ingredients and seasonings using our seasoning rack, and keep your left overs on our steel containers. Perfect for taking on the go, potluck, or friends home.
