How To Make hot chicken fillet salad
-
Step 1TO MAKE THE SWEET AND SOUR DRESSING: Get yourself a jar with a tight-fitting lid. I used a Mason Jar.
-
Step 2Combine the first 5 ingredients in the recipe. Shake very well.
-
Step 3Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.
-
Step 4TO MAKE THE CHICKEN: Place one of the large chicken breasts into a freezer bag and pound it to around 1/4" thick. Repeat with the second chicken breast.
-
Step 5In a shallow bowl combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Give this a good stir with a whisk. Coat the chicken breasts on both sides.
-
Step 6Heat a large skillet on medium heat. When hot place the chicken breasts into the skillet and cook them 10-12 minutes flipping the breasts over around the 5-6 minute mark. Make sure all the pink is gone.
-
Step 7I heated my toaster oven to "keep warm" and put the chicken breasts on a tray and into the toaster oven until I was ready to assemble the salad.
-
Step 8Put the lettuce on your platter. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and spread around on top of the lettuce. Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit and discard. Cut the avocado up into cubes or slices.
-
Step 9Put the avocado on top of the lettuce and cherries.
-
Step 10Get the chicken out of the toaster oven and slice it crosswise. Lay the slices over the salad mixture.
-
Step 11Let everyone help themselves. Top with the Sweet & Sour Dressing.
-
Step 12This is one of my favorite salads of all time. I hope you enjoy it too. Bon Appetit!
