Red Wine Poached Chicken Salad is so easy, tasty, and healthy!
Apparently I’ve been doing a lot of cooking with vino – and vino is a good thing… And there’s never too much of a good thing!
Weather here has been warming up finally and warm weather makes me seriously crave salads. I threw this salad together earlier this week and thought it was so beautiful and tasty. I just had to share it with you. I obviously eat lots of sweets, which makes it so important for me to pay close attention to what I am eating in every other meal. This was filling and satisfying and super healthy. So here’s my Red Wine Poached Chicken Salad recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. thin cut boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons dried sage
- 2 cups red leaf lettuce – rinsed, dried and chopped
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon goat cheese
- salt and pepper
- Balsamic Vinaigrette
or your fav. salad dressing.
Directions: Combine wine, chicken stock, water and sage in pan- bring to a boil. Salt and pepper the chicken then add to pan. Cover, reduce heat to simmer and cook chicken 7 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from pan and let rest a couple minutes. Combine lettuce, tomato and goat cheese. Toss in dressing. Slice chicken and top the salad
Salt and pepper to taste! Done!
So easy, so tasty, so healthy! Enjoy!
