CHICKEN, POTATO AND BUTTER LETTUCE WITH LIGHT RICOTTA DRESSING
This recipe is based on a Martha Stewart recipe, but with a few adaptations. The dressing actually called for 3 tbs lemon juice , not lime juice and 5 garlic cloves, but I'm not a big garlic fan. I also use part skim requeson, which is very similar to ricotta. When I can't find cherry tomatoes, I just add wedges of Roma tomatoes.

Steps:
- Fill a large saucepan with enough water to cover chicken. Add garlic and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Place chicken in pan, and gently simmer until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken and garlic to a plate; let cool. Reserve poaching liquid.

With machine running, add oil in a slow, steady stream, mixing until emulsified. Stir in dill, and season with pepper. Set aside.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
- Choose the Right Potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use a variety of potato that holds its shape well when cooked, such as Yukon Gold or baby potatoes.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: The vegetables in this dish should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, and chives, add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Make the Dressing Ahead of Time: The lemon-garlic dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the dish.
Conclusion:
This chicken, potato, and butter lettuce salad is a delicious and refreshing meal that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner.
