Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing the chicken breast. Place 100g of chicken breast in boiling water and simmer for about 2 minutes. This poaching method keeps the chicken moist. Once cooked, let it cool slightly, then shred or cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Next, wash the romaine lettuce. Tear or chop the lettuce into pieces about 2-3 cm in size. In a large bowl, mix water with 2 Tbsp of vinegar to create a vinegar bath. Submerge the lettuce in this solution for 1-2 minutes to cleanse and refresh it. Rinse thoroughly under running water, then drain well in a colander. Ensure excess water is removed to prevent a diluted dressing.
Step 3
Prepare the baby greens or sprouts. Gently place them in the prepared vinegar water for about 1-2 minutes. Rinse them under cold water and carefully pat or shake off excess moisture. Be gentle with these delicate greens.
Step 4
Now, let’s make a special homemade dressing. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp of mustard and 2 Tbsp of horseradish. Mix well. Add 2 Tbsp of lemon preserve for a touch of sweetness and tang. Finally, pour in 1/2 cup of pickled relish sauce and stir everything together until well combined. Adjust the quantity of lemon preserve or other ingredients based on the saltiness of your relish sauce.
Step 5
Time to assemble the salad! Arrange the drained romaine lettuce as a base on your serving plate or in a salad bowl. Top with the prepared baby greens and sprouts. Finally, artfully place the shredded or sliced chicken breast on top of the greens.
Step 6
Let’s also make some fresh orange juice. Peel 5 oranges and place them in a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain the blended orange pulp through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to extract the pure juice. This creates a vibrant and vitamin-rich fresh orange juice.
Step 7
Everything is ready! Drizzle your desired amount of the homemade dressing over the chicken breast salad. Serve the fresh orange juice in a separate glass or pitcher alongside the salad. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
