Main Ingredients- Sous-vide chicken breast 220g (use thawed)
- Fresh salad greens 400g (your favorite mix like romaine, lettuce, spring mix)
- 1 hard-boiled egg (cooked and peeled)
- 2 rings of pineapple (fresh or canned)
- 1 kiwi (for a touch of sweet and tart flavor)
- 50g carrot ribbons (thinly shaved carrots, lightly dressed)
- 1/2 tomato (or half of a regular-sized tomato, chopped as desired)
- A few black olives (for a savory accent)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash your salad greens. Rinse them under cold running water multiple times to remove any dirt or debris. It’s crucial to spin them dry or pat them completely dry with paper towels. Excess water can make your salad soggy and dilute the flavors.
Step 2
Chop the tomato into bite-sized pieces. If using cherry tomatoes, halve them. If using a regular tomato, half is usually sufficient, and cut it into your preferred size. (The photo shows about two tomatoes, but half is plenty!).
Step 3
Peel and chop the pineapple and kiwi into bite-sized pieces for easy eating. Prepare your carrot ribbons by shaving the carrots thinly with a peeler or mandoline. You can lightly dress them with lemon juice, vinegar, and a pinch of sugar for extra zest.
Step 4
Set aside the black olives and the hard-boiled egg for plating. The hard-boiled egg can be halved or quartered for a visually appealing garnish.
Step 5
For the star of the show, the chicken breast! Using pre-cooked sous-vide chicken breast makes this incredibly easy. Gently knead the chicken breast packet with your hands to loosen the fibers. Then, massage the chicken to thoroughly combine it with the included sauce, almost like a light kneading process. This helps to ensure the chicken is extra moist and tender.
Step 6
Arrange all the prepared ingredients attractively on a large plate or in a bowl. Start with a bed of salad greens, then artfully arrange the seasoned chicken breast, pineapple, kiwi, tomatoes, carrot ribbons, hard-boiled egg, and olives on top. Behold your beautiful and healthy chicken breast salad! Serve with your favorite dressing.
