PANZANELLA WITH CRISP CHICKEN SKIN
This Tuscan bread salad uses leftover roast chicken to make an amazing one-bowl meal. Instead of simply shredding chicken meat and skin and tossing it with tomatoes and bread, spend an few extra minutes crisping up the skin first. It's a huge reward for the effort. The skin goes from floppy to crunchy and almost baconlike.

Steps:
- Cut tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Using a large chef's knife, mince 1 of the smashed garlic cloves. Add a pinch of salt and using the flat side of your knife, smash into a fine paste. Add garlic paste to the tomatoes along with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in 3 tablespoons olive oil until the mixture is thickened. Remove the skin from the chicken, shred the meat and combine with the vinaigrette. Roughly chop the chicken skin and set aside.
- In a 10-inch skillet over high heat, add 1 teaspoon olive oil. When oil is shimmering, add the chicken skin and capers. Cook while stirring occasionally until the skin is crisp and the capers are beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, bread cubes, the remaining smashed garlic clove, 1 sprig of fresh thyme or 1 sprig of fresh oregano and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook while stirring occasionally until toasted and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely. When cool, discard the garlic and thyme and add bread cubes to the tomato mixture. Add the leaves of the remaining uncooked thyme or oregano, the shredded chicken and toss to combine. Transfer to a platter or individual plates and serve garnished with the capers, chicken skin, chopped basil, and freshly ground black pepper.

Steps:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add half of chicken and cook, flipping once, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken and 1 more tablespoon oil.
- Reduce heat to medium; add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet, then bread and juices from chicken plate. Cook, stirring, until golden, 5 minutes. Let cool slightly. Transfer to a bowl with tomatoes, capers, celery hearts and leaves, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in cheese and basil; serve with sliced chicken.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe ingredients. This will ensure that your panzanella is bursting with flavor.
- Do not overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way, and you don't want to mask the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Let the salad rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, for a pop of color and flavor.
