Cooking Steps
- Peel, then thinly slice shallot.
- Zest, then juice lemon.
- Add shallots, lemon juice, honey, 3/4 tsp (1 1/2 tsp) garlic salt and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water to a small pot.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until salt dissolves, 1-2 min.
- Remove from heat. Transfer shallots, including pickling liquid, to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, finely chop parsley.
- Halve cucumber lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Using a strainer, drain and rinse lentils.
- Add mustard, lemon zest and 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) oil to the bowl with shallots and pickling liquid. Season with pepper, then stir to combine.
- Add lentils and cucumbers, then toss to combine.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add walnuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on walnuts so they don't burn.)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to the same pan, then chicken. Pan-fry until cooked through, 6-7 min per side.** Transfer to another plate, then cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest, 2-3 min.
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then ciabatta. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook croutons in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)
- Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown on all sides, 3-5 min.
- Transfer croutons to the plate with walnuts.
- Add croutons and arugula and spinach mix to the bowl with marinated lentils. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then toss to combine.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide salad between plates. Top with chicken, goat cheese, parsley and toasted walnuts.
If you've opted to get chicken breasts, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. When walnuts are done and transferred to a plate, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to the same pan, then chicken. Pan-fry until cooked through, 6-7 min per side.** Transfer to another plate, then cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest, 2-3 min.
Thinly slice chicken. Arrange chicken on top of plated salad.
