Preparation time 30 mins to 1 hour


Cooking time 30 mins to 1 hour





This large salad is composed of chicken, fresh vegetables and fruit to create a very flavoursome one meal in a dish.





Ingredients


The poached chicken:


1 medium chicken


2 onions, peeled


2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped


2 sticks celery, roughly chopped


2 medium leeks, chopped


1 handful parsley stalks


3 bay leaves


1 large sprig thyme


small handful peppercorns


salt


4 pints water


For the salad:


1 poached chicken (see recipe above)


125g/4oz French beans, cooked for 4 minutes, then rinsed in cold water


55g/2oz broad beans, cooked for 45 seconds, rinsed in cold water and peeled


150g/5oz anchovy fillets


150g/5oz black or green seedless grapes, halved


1 orange, peeled and sliced


6 cherry tomatoes, halved


12 radishes


6 baby beetroot, cooked


12 spring onions, sliced


6 soft boiled eggs


55g/2oz toasted flaked almonds


55g/2oz plump raisins


packet lamb's lettuce


handful beet or baby chard leaves (or plain lettuce)


handful of mixed, chopped chervil, tarragon, parsley and chives


(the herbs and leaves are based solely on what you are able to find)


The dressing


陆 orange, juice and zest


陆 lemon, juice and zest


200ml/7fl oz extra virgin olive oil


60ml/2fl oz red wine vinegar


salt and freshly ground black pepper





Method


1. To poach the chicken: put the chicken in a large pan and add the vegetables, herbs and spices. Add the water, making sure that the level is at least 5cm/2in above the top of the chicken.


2. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 40-45 minutes, making sure that you skim the fat from the top of the pan every five minutes or so. (You can test whether or not the chicken is done by piercing the thickest part of the leg with a knife; if the juices run clear the chicken is cooked).


3. You can either allow the chicken to cool in the pan or remove it and you also have a lovely pan of chicken stock.


4. While the chicken cooks, get ready the vegetables that require cooking. Cook the eggs. putting them into plenty of furiously boiling water, return to the boil and leave for 6 minutes, drain and then leave them under cold running water until quite cold. (Remember to peel them under water and place in water until required). Wash the salad leaves, chop the herbs.


5.Once cooled strip the chicken and break the flesh into strips. Cut the beetroots, tomatoes and eggs in half lengthwise and then start assembling the salad.


6. Lay the leaves down first, then the chicken and then the rest of the ingredients in layers.


7. Make the dressing:


mix the zests and juices with the vinegar, salt and pepper, whisk in the olive oil and then pour over the salad and serve.

Chicken Salad Recipe





makes enough for four sandwiches





Ingredients:





3 large, cooked chicken breasts, chilled


1/2 cup chopped celery


1/3 cup crushed walnuts


1/2 cup halved seedless red grapes


1/8 cup finely chopped fresh marjoram


3/4 cup mayonnaise


1 tsp freshly ground black peppercorns


1/2 tsp paprika


Preparation:








You can, of course, bake some chicken specifically to use it in chicken salad, but that would certainly not be a fast meal. It is easiest to use some already cooked chicken, left over from another meal. If you do decide to use fresh chicken, cook it however you wish and then let it cool.





1. Thoroughly wash the celery and the seedless red grapes. Chop the celery into 1/4 inch slices, and halve the red grapes.





2. De-bone the chicken and remove the skin.





3. Chop the chicken meat to your desired texture.





4. Crush the walnuts.





5. Put the chopped celery, halved seedless red grapes, chopped chicken, and crushed walnuts together in a bowl. Mix well.





6. Grind the black peppercorns and finely chop the fresh marjoram.





7. In a small bowl, put the black pepper, marjoram, and paprika into the mayonnaise and mix thoroughly.





8. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the main bowl and mix well.





9. Chill for at least one hour, then serve, either by itself, on sandwiches, or however you wish. Enjoy!
