Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Cut ciabatta roll into 1-inch pieces.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss ciabatta pieces with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then season with salt, pepper and half the Zesty Garlic Blend. Toast in the top of the oven 5-6 min, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, peel, then halve gooseberries.
- Halve cucumber lengthwise. Cut into 1/4-inch half moons.
- On a separate cutting board, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend.
- Wrap 2 bacon strips around each piece of chicken. (TIP: Overlapping strips by 1 inch helps keep bacon on chicken.)
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry 2-3 min per side, until golden.
- Remove from heat, then transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet.
- Roast in the bottom of the oven 14-18 min, until cooked through.**
- When done, brush bacon-wrapped chicken with half the apricot spread.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together half the vinegar (use all for 4 servings), remaining apricot spread and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- When chicken is almost done, add ciabatta croutons, spring mix, cucumbers and gooseberries to the bowl with dressing. Toss to combine.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide chicken and salad between plates.
- Sprinkle feta over top of salad.
