- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breastssaltpepperother seasonings as desired1 bulb fennel2 large red apples (gala or fugi)2 large green apples (granny smith)1/4 Cup Good Seasons Italian Dressing -- made with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
For chicken: Place chicken breast in large flat pan with enough dry white wine and/or water to come 1/2 way up pan. Season liquid with salt and whatever herbs you prefer... I use the fronds from the fennel bulb, peppercorns, and tarragon. Bring liquid up to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover pan. Poach chicken breasts for 20 - 30 minutes (depending on size), turning once during cooking. Be careful not to overcook... chicken should be done, but still very moist.
Remove chicken from liquid and let cool. Once cool, chop into small pieces and place in large bowl.
For fennel: remove stalks, core, and outer layer. Halve bulb, and slice into long, thin pieces. Put in bowl with chicken.
For apples: Core, halve, and slice very thin, leaving skin on. Place in mixing bowl. Mix all ingredients together.
For dressing: Mix in proportions according to Good Seasons package, but use E.V. Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar.
Pour about 1/4 Cup of dressing onto salad components and toss lightly.
Number of Servings: 6
