Categories     main-dish

Time 1h1m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 whole (4 split) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 cups good mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon leaves
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and dice the chicken in large bite-size pieces.
  • Meanwhile, add the broccoli florets to a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 1 minute, until crisp tender, drain, and place into a bowl of ice water until cool. This will stop the cooking and set the bright green color.
  • For the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, wine, mustards, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add enough sauce to the warm chicken to moisten well. Add the tarragon, broccoli, and tomatoes and mix gently to combine. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature.

CRISPY CHICKEN-AND-BROCCOLI SALAD



Crispy Chicken-and-Broccoli Salad image

You will never again have trouble getting your family to eat broccoli once you serve them this main dish salad. A satisfying meal that is simple to make, preparing this quick summer salad recipe allows you more family time and less time in the kitchen prepping and cooking. There are so many tastes and textures going on in this salad. It is slightly creamy, tangy, and crunchy - there's something in there that will please everyone. The addition of fresh grapes might seem odd if you've never lived in the South, but they are a traditional part of broccoli salad and add a fresh crunch and a little sweetness. Add the chicken after the salad has a chance to marinate so it stays crispy. Purchase fried chicken tenders from the deli section of your supermarket or you can pick some up from your favorite fast food chain. This recipe makes an ideal addition to the menu for an outdoor picnic, barbecue, church potluck or even the Thanksgiving table. Do you like to play with your food? Use the fried chicken and broccoli combination as a base and switch up your other fillings. Add cranberries, toasted pecans or almonds, halved cherry tomatoes, diced apples, shallots instead of red onion, or a number of other ingredients. This salad just gets better the longer it sits, which means leftovers are fantastic. Before the family eats it all, package some up for your lunch the next day. You need to let this salad chill before adding the chicken, which makes this a great make-ahead recipe. If you need to take a dish to party, try this recipe; simply wait until you arrive before adding in the chicken.

CHICKEN SALAD WITH BROCCOLI



Chicken Salad With Broccoli image

This main dish salad looks very attractive and tastes even better. Simple, readily available ingredients that are more than the sum of their parts. Easy to make but there is a trick. The broccoli must be green and crisp for the recipe to WOW. Fresh dill can certainly be used but I rarely have it on hand as I do dried dill.

1/2 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper
