Categories main-dish

Time 1h1m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

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.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
cooking spray
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
8 cups mixed spring salad greens
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
1 cup sliced radishes
¾ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

Heat oil in an extra-large skillet over medium heat. Add panko and garlic powder. Cook, stirring, until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a shallow dish and let cool, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in parsley.
Coat an air fryer basket with cooking spray and preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Meanwhile, in another shallow dish, stir together flour, salt, and pepper. In a third shallow dish, whisk together eggs and water.
Cut chicken breasts lengthwise into 1x3-inch strips. Dip chicken strips into flour mixture, then egg mixture, then panko mixture to coat.
Working in batches, add chicken to the preheated air fryer. Cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest parts registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate; cover and keep warm.
Toss together salad greens, carrots, and radishes in a large bowl.
Stir mayonnaise, yellow mustard, honey, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice for dressing together in a small bowl.
Divide salad among plates, top with chicken, and drizzle with dressing.
