12 ounces boneless, skinless, chicken breast (about 2 breast halves)

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2-ounce piece Parmesan
4 ounces button mushrooms
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, (about 6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
8 cups baby spinach, washed and dried

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Coarsely grate the cheese. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cheese on the mat to make a thin disk, about 2 inches wide. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the disks evenly on the pan to make 8 fricos. Bake rotating the pan once during baking, until the cheese melts together and is just golden, about 12 minutes. Cool fricos on the pan.
  • Position a rack 6 inches from the broiler and preheat.
  • Slice the mushrooms as thin as possible. Toss with the lemon juice and season with the salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Brush the chicken breast with olive oil and mustard. Season with the salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a flameproof gratin or casserole dish and broil, turning as needed until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the breasts registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate, reserve the pan. Add the broth to the pan, and stir with a wooden spoon to release the brown bits that cling to the pan. Reserve the pan drippings.
  • Whisk the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, to taste, in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, and the pan drippings starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a dressing.
  • Slice the chicken. Toss the spinach and mushrooms with the dressing and divide among 4 plates. Scatter the chicken over the salads, top with the fricos and serve.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful and juicy chicken, marinate it in the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken breasts in a grill pan over medium heat.
  • To make the brie cheese easier to melt, slice it thinly and place it on the chicken breasts just before removing them from the grill.
  • For a more substantial salad, add some grilled vegetables, such as zucchini, squash, or bell peppers.
  • To make the salad dressing, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
  • To assemble the salad, place the baby spinach in a large bowl, top with the grilled chicken breasts, brie cheese, walnuts, and cranberries.
