Raw fennel adds an extra-crunchy, slightly herbal je ne sais quoi to this refreshing salad.

Use a mandoline or V-slicer to get super-thin, cheffy slices that soak up the lemon dressing.

Ingredients:

  • 4 sprays cooking spray
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Rosemary, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped (1 tbsp)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ¾ tsp table salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 pound uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, cutlets, thinly sliced or pounded
  • 1 uncooked fennel bulb, small, trimmed and shaved
  • 1 small red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup lettuce, chopped, or mixed greens
  • 12 basil leaves, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, rosemary, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in a storage container or resealable plastic bag and add 3 tbsp of the marinade. Reserve the remaining marinade. Close the container tightly and shake to coat the chicken. Refrigerate the chicken for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
  2. Coat a grill rack or grill pan with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Discard the marinade in the container. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the fennel, bell peppers, and lettuce. Thinly slice the chicken and add to the salad. Drizzle with the reserved marinade. Garnish with the basil (if using).
