To buy
- 8 ounces boneless chicken thighs or breast
- 1 lemon
From your shelf
- one bag or container, about 6 ounces garden iceberg lettuce, red cabbage & carrot salad
Staples
- 3 tablespoons oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Cut 8 ounces of chicken into bite-size pieces. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken and cook until opaque throughout, turning now and then, about 8 minutes. While the chicken cooks, mince 2 cloves garlic and separate the salad mix into lettuce pieces and the cabbage-carrot mix.
- When the chicken is done, push it to the side of the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon butter and the minced garlic to the empty space, cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then toss with the chicken.
- Add all the cabbage and carrot from the salad mix to the skillet and toss to coat. Cook for 2 minutes until just warmed through and slightly softened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the lettuce to serving bowls. Top with the warm chicken and cabbage-carrot mixture. Squeeze juice from 1 lemon over each bowl and serve right away.
Note Swap the chicken for canned white beans (drained and rinsed) or tofu cubes for a vegetarian version. Leftovers keep two days in the fridge but are best eaten warm. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the pan juices, or add cooked rice to stretch the salad.
