CHICKEN SALAD CONTESSA

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 split (1 whole) chicken breasts, bone in, skin on (1 1/2 pounds)
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup walnuts halves
1/2 cup good mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves, divided
1 cup green grapes, cut in 1/2
Lettuce leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken breasts, skin side up, on a baking sheet and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside until cool.
  • When the chicken is cool, remove meat from the bones and discard the skin and bones. Cut the chicken into a 3/4-inch dice.
  • Meanwhile, place the pecans and walnuts on a separate sheet pan and toast in the oven for 7 to 8 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool.
  • For the dressing, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Fold in half the chopped tarragon leaves.
  • Place the diced chicken in a bowl, add the pecans, walnuts and grapes. Pour the dressing over the chicken and toss well. Sprinkle the remaining chopped tarragon leaves on top, and serve on a bed of lettuce leaves.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Free-range chicken, fresh herbs, and crisp vegetables will make a big difference.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side for boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  • Let the chicken cool completely before shredding it. This will help to prevent the chicken from falling apart.
  • Use a variety of textures and flavors in your salad. Crunchy nuts, sweet grapes, and creamy avocado all add interest and flavor.
  • Dress the salad just before serving. This will help to prevent the salad from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Barefoot Contessa's Chicken Salad Veronique is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this salad is sure to become a favorite.
