Hi everyone, its Natasha of Natashaskitchen.com and on today's episode we are
making our favourite autumn salad. Thisone is loaded with crisp pears, tangy
cranberries, pecans and juicy chicken. Andthe simple balsamic dressing will win
you over. Start by cutting two chickenbreasts in half lengthwise so you end up
with four thin cutlets. Season all overwith half a teaspoon of garlic salt and
an eighth of a teaspoon of black pepperor season to taste.
Place a large skillet over medium heatand add one tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the chicken cutlets into the hotpan and saute for three to four minutes
per side or just until it's fully cookedthrough. Cutting the chicken in half this
way makes it cook way faster than awhole chicken breast. Remove the chicken
from the pan and set it aside to restwhile you toast your pecans. Place a
clean and dry skillet over medium heat,add the pecans and toast them for about
five minutes,tossing frequently or until the pecans
are fragrant and lightly golden. Transferthe nuts to a plate and set them aside
to cool. Once the chicken is no longerhot, slice it into bite-size strips and
set it aside. This salad has a lot ofchicken which I love because it is
protein packed. Chop one large or twosmall heads of romaine lettuce. You'll
need about 8 cups chopped
and I am a big fan of salad spinners. Itmakes it so easy to wash and spin dry
your lettuce. And let me know in acomment below if you use a salad spinner.
Transfer the lettuce to a large saladbowl. Now core and slice two medium pears
into bite-sized pieces, add those to thesalad and if you're serving this for a
party, it looks gorgeous to arrange youringredients in strips over the lettuce
and the rest is just assembly. Add yourcooked chicken strips, add one whole cup
of dried cranberries, followed by yourtoasted and cooled pecans and last but
not least, add 1/2 cup of crumbled fetacheese. Now the dressing is so easy. In a
small mason jar combine 1/2 a cup ofextra-virgin olive oil, 3 tablespoons of
good balsamic vinegar, a tablespoon ofDijon mustard, 1 pressed garlic clove, 1/4
teaspoon of sea salt and 1/8 of ateaspoon of black pepper. Cover with the
lid and shake vigorously to combine.
Okay, all that's left to do is to add thedressing to this beautiful salad and we
love taking this to parties because youcan make the whole salad ahead of time
and keep the dressing in the jar andjust before you serve it, cover the lid
give it a good shake, shake - shake to mixit all up and then pour it over. Okay,
here we go.
Now toss it all together until everybite is coated in that tasty dressing. Oh...
This salad is loaded with all the bestautumn ingredients - yum yum yum!
Especially love those sweet, crunchypears - delicious. Okay and then before I
serve, I like to top it with just alittle bit more fresh feta because it
has that beautiful white pop of color,otherwise the feta gets a little bit
lost in the dressing and a little morenever hurts. Okay, we're gonna serve this
up and do the taste test,aka gorge on this delicious salad. Okay,
all right, we are going in for the tastetest. I like to get a little bit of
everything... That's what I'm talking about.Wow! I love the sweetened tangy
craisins and the sweet pears, the crunchypecans. And make sure you toast them,
because that adds crazy good flavor tothis salad. And then the lettuce makes
this just such a feel good salad. And thejuicy chicken packs a bunch of protein
into this salad. You can eat this as ameal. And then that little salty bite of
feta. It really is so delicious, it alwaysdisappears fast at parties and I get a
lot of recipe requests for this one. Makeit once and you'll make it over and over
