Fragrant Yuzu Chicken Breast Salad with Toast
Simple Yuzu Toast & Yuzu Chicken Breast Salad Recipe
I’ve made a light and healthy diet-friendly salad using chicken breast. It’s simple to prepare, making it a great option for a weekend brunch. The refreshing yuzu flavor adds a delightful aroma and taste.
Salad Ingredients- 1 can (approx. 100g) canned chicken breast
- Fresh lettuce, desired amount
- Nuts, a small amount
- Dried fruit, a small amount
- 1/2 tsp Herb salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather your main salad ingredients. Prepare the canned chicken breast, bread, fresh lettuce, crunchy nuts, and sweet and tangy dried fruit according to your preference.
Step 2
Drain the canned chicken breast thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Wash the lettuce leaves carefully under running water, then pat them dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner to ensure all moisture is removed. This step is crucial to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Step 3
Lightly season the drained chicken breast with about 1/2 teaspoon of herb salt and mix gently. This preliminary seasoning will enhance the chicken’s flavor.
Step 4
Heat a grill pan or a dry frying pan over medium-low heat. Toast the bread slices on both sides until they are golden brown and crispy. Warm toast pairs wonderfully with yuzu jam.
Step 5
Arrange the dried lettuce leaves attractively in a serving bowl. Place the seasoned chicken breast on top. Add the prepared nuts and dried fruit. If you like, you can grate some cheese over the top, but it’s delicious even without cheese. Finally, sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of yuzu tea over everything. This creates a fragrant and light chicken breast salad.
Step 6
Transfer the completed chicken breast salad to a nice plate. Cut the toasted bread in half and place it alongside the salad. Spread a desired amount of yuzu jam on top of the toast. This completes your delightful yuzu toast, complementing the salad for a more satisfying brunch experience.
