Chicken with Escarole and Warm Mustard Dressing
Directions
- In a large bowl combine escarole and fennel; set aside. Season chicken with salt and black pepper. In an extra-large skillet heat 2 Tbsp. of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken to skillet; cook 4 minutes or until browned and no longer pink, turning once. Transfer to a plate; cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- For dressing: Add shallot to skillet. Cook and stir 30 seconds. Add vinegar; stir until evaporated, scraping up any browned bits. Pour 1/2 cup water into skillet; cook, uncovered, 2 minutes or until reduced by about half. Remove from heat. Whisk in mustard and remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Pour 3 Tbsp. dressing over escarole and fennel, tossing lightly. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Stir any accumulated juices from chicken into dressing in skillet. Serve with chicken and escarole mixture.
From the Test Kitchen
Escarole, a sturdy green with a slightly bitter but bright flavor, holds up to this warm mustard dressing. If you prefer, substitute romaine.

Delicious meal! I added a Lemon Pasta as a side, as my daughter isn't a big salad person. Easy, quick and absolutely perfect for a fancy meal or just a wonderful weeknight meal. Can easily substitute other greens, such as romaine, spinach, and kale. YUM!
