SPICY CHICKEN AND STIR-FRIED GRAIN SALAD



Spicy Chicken and Stir-Fried Grain Salad image

I love the way this salad brings together my favorite combination of flavors -- sweet, sour and spicy -- in a warm, colorful dish celebrating fall produce. I stir-fry the grains to add both a nutty, caramelly flavor and a slightly crispy texture.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
4 large cloves garlic (1 clove sliced and 3 cloves finely grated)
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Kosher salt
3 large heads Belgian endive or radicchio, leaves separated
2 large celery stalks, chopped
1 large sweet-tart apple, cored and sliced into thin wedges
1 1/2 cups red grapes, halved
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 serrano chile, stemmed, seeded and chopped
2 cups cooked grains such as quinoa, farro or brown rice
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled cheese such as blue, feta or queso fresco

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken, 1 sliced garlic clove, 1 sprig of the rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Set aside, covered, until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, toss the endive with the celery, apple, grapes and vinegar in a large bowl; season with salt. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, strip the leaves from the remaining rosemary sprig and finely chop; add to the skillet along with the 3 finely grated garlic cloves, ginger and serrano. Cook, stirring frequently, until very fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Increase the heat to high and add the grains. Cook, tossing frequently, until the grains begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Discard the rosemary from the saucepan and transfer the broth to the skillet with the grains. Continue cooking until the broth has evaporated, about 4 minutes.
  • Slice the chicken 1/2 inch thick. Add the grains and chicken to the endive mixture and toss to combine; season with salt. Divide the salad among plates and top with the pecans, scallions and cheese.
