Chicken in Dijon Sauce with Balsamic Greens & Grapes plus Garlic Bread

French · Serves 2

Chicken in Dijon Sauce

with Balsamic Greens & Grapes plus Garlic Bread

With sweetness from grapes, crisp texture from lettuce, and buttery crunch from walnuts, it’s hard to beat a Waldorf salad. Typically, it’s all tossed in a creamy dressing, but tonight, we switch things up with a balsamic vinaigrette for satisfying tang. We didn’t totally ditch the rich, creamy vibes, though—you’ll find those in a luscious Dijon sauce for pan-roasted chicken breasts. Alternate with bites of buttery garlic ciabatta, or use the bread to swipe up every last drop of sauce.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Heat broiler to high. Wash and dry produce.

    Peel and mince garlic. Halve grapes. Halve ciabatta.

    Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until just softened, 10-15 seconds. Stir in half the garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper.

    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side.

    Transfer chicken to a cutting board.

  3. 3

    Add remaining garlic to same pan; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.

    Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Simmer until reduced, 2-3 minutes.

    Stir in sour cream, half the mustard, and 1 TBSP plain butter (2 TBSP for 4); remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. (Taste and add more mustard if desired.)

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss mixed greens, grapes, and walnuts with half the vinegar (all for 4 servings) and a large drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Spread cut sides of ciabatta with garlic butter; place cut sides up on a baking sheet. Broil until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.

    Halve garlic bread on a diagonal.

  6. 6

    Thinly slice chicken crosswise.

    Divide chicken, salad, and garlic bread between plates. Top chicken with pan sauce and serve.
