Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup sweetened dried cherries or cranberries
- 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped
- 1 bulb fennel, trimmed and chopped
- 1/2 cup walnut piece
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a large saucepan and pour over enough water to cover. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Drain and, when cool enough to handle, cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Transfer the still warm chicken to a large bowl and add the cherries, apples, fennel, walnuts, and chives. Toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, and lemon zest. Add to the chicken mixture and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the lettuce leaves and serve. If serving chilled, you can make the chicken mixture up to 2 days in advance and store in a sealable container in the refrigerator.
