Marinated Chicken Salad With Homemade Mayonnaise
- marinade
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
- 2 red chilies medium, seeded and chopped, optional
- 4 fresh bay leaves chopped
- 6 chicken breasts
- mayonnaise
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 1/4 cups sunflower oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- salad
- 1 head baby romaine lettuce
- 1 head radicchio
- 1 red pepper large, cut into thin strips
- 1 yellow pepper large, cut into thin strips
- 4 stalks celery cut into thin strips
- 4 medium carrots cut into thin strips
- 2 3/4 ounces baby arugula
- 2 3/4 ounces toasted pine nuts
- To make the marinade, whisk together all ingredients in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, in a shallow oven-safe dish. Refrigerate for 30 mins.
- Meanwhile, to make the mayonnaise, whisk the egg yolks with mustard until combined. Add the oil drop by drop, whisking constantly. As it begins to thicken, increase the oil flow to a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly. Add some lemon juice, then continue with the oil until all the oil and lemon juice have been used. Season to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F.
- Heat a large cast iron grill pan or frying pan. When hot, add the drained chicken to pan and cook until browned on both sides. Return the chicken to the marinade dish and transfer to the oven to roast for 10 to 15 mins or until just cooked through. Allow to cool, then cut the chicken into 1 inch thick slices.
- On a platter, arrange the baby romaine lettuce and top with radicchio. Combine the peppers, celery, carrots, and about 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise in a bowl and mix well. Arrange the dressed vegetables over the lettuce.
- Arrange the chicken slices on top of the vegetables and season to taste. Top with the arugula and toasted pine nuts. Serve with the remaining mayonnaise on the side.
