Best Crunchy Chicken Salad On Brioche Recipes

CRISPY CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• CHICKEN: Start by preparing chicken tenders according to package directions. Let cool to warm and then thinly slice.
• SALAD: Chop the romaine, wash, and make sure it is thoroughly dried before adding to a large bowl (dressing won't adhere to wet lettuce). Add halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumbers, sliced red onions, and sliced avocado to the bowl or place on individual plates. Add the sliced chicken on top. Drizzle with the dressing (see next step to prepare), toss to combine, and serve immediately.
• DRESSING: Whisk the ingredients for the dressing, along with a big pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk until smooth. If not using immediately, transfer to a mason jar and refrigerate. (Leftovers stay good for 5-7 days).
• STORAGE: Dressed salad doesn't sit well, so if you want to have leftovers or make ahead, store the dressing separately from the salad.

CRUNCHY CHICKEN SALAD ON BRIOCHE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Use a 2-inch-round cookie cutter to cut about 4 dozen rounds from the brioche slices. Place rounds on a baking sheet; transfer to oven until they are barely golden, about 7 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking time.
• Place the chicken stock in a medium saucepot, and bring to a boil. Add the chicken breast, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Drain, reserving the stock for another use, and set the chicken aside to cool. When it is cool enough to handle, shred the chicken into bite-size pieces.
• Peel and core the apple, and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Place diced apple in a large bowl, and toss with lemon juice to coat. Add the shredded chicken, celery, mayonnaise, tarragon, salt, and pepper.
• When ready to serve, top each brioche toast with 1 heaping teaspoon chicken salad, and garnish with a pinch of freshly chopped tarragon.

• Shred the chicken and toss it into the salad with the herbs. Mix again, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is ideal).

CRUNCHY CHOPPED SALAD

Steps:

• Before you get started take a look at our chopping and knife skills guide. If your chopping board doesn't have anti-slip grips, lay a dampened tea towel or sheet of kitchen paper on the work surface, then place the board on top to stop it from slipping.
• Holding the lemon with your hand in the bridge position, cut the lemon in half. Push one half onto a citrus juicer, twist and squeeze to release the juice. Repeat with the second lemon half. Pour the juice into a jam jar or small bowl along with the oil.
• Add the mustard, honey and a good pinch each of salt and black pepper. Seal the jar and shake to combine, or whisk the ingredients together. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to a week.
• Cut the tomatoes in half by pinching each one between your thumb and a finger and carefully slicing through the middle with a small serrated knife. Cut each piece in half again to make quarters, then tip the tomatoes into a large bowl.
• Wipe down the chopping board, then cut the cucumber in half lengthways. Put the two halves cut-side down on the board so they don't roll around, then cut in half again along the length, so you have four chunky sticks of cucumber. Cut across the cucumber now to make little triangles, keeping your free hand in the claw position with your fingers tucked away from the blade of the knife. Tip the cucumber into the bowl with the tomatoes.
• Cut the hard stalk off the lettuces, then cut each lettuce in half and in half again to get four wedges. Working with one lettuce wedge at a time, hold the wedge with your hand in the claw position and chop it into small ribbons - the smaller, the better for this salad. Repeat with the remaining wedges and tip the lettuce into the bowl.
• Snip the cress straight into the bowl using kitchen scissors. Weigh out the pomegranate seeds using the scales and add these to the bowl. Repeat with the mixed seeds. Drizzle over roughly half of the dressing over the salad (you will have some leftover) and toss everything together to coat.
