Finishing & optional
Method
Salad greens & vegetables
Prepare greens
Trim the base of each endive head and separate the leaves. Quarter the radicchio and core it, then thinly slice into 1/2" strips. Rinse baby romaine leaves and spin dry or pat very dry. Place endive leaves, sliced radicchio and baby romaine into a large salad bowl.
Prepare vegetables
Halve the cherry tomatoes. Peel the red onion, cut in half, and slice very thinly into half-moons. Add tomatoes and about half of the onion to the greens; reserve remaining onion for garnish if desired.
Roasted chicken
Season chicken
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl combine 1.5 tbs olive oil, minced garlic (press or finely mince the 2 cloves), 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper and 1/2 tsp dried thyme. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Roast chicken
Place seasoned chicken on a rimmed baking sheet or in an oven-safe skillet. Roast in preheated oven 18–22 minutes (depending on thickness) until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from oven and let rest 5–7 minutes, then slice the chicken into 1/4"–1/2" thick slices or bite-sized strips.
Mustard dressing (Senape)
Make dressing
In a medium bowl whisk together 2 tbs Dijon mustard, 1 tbs whole-grain mustard, 1.5 tbs white wine vinegar, 1 tsp honey and 1 tbs lemon juice. While whisking, slowly drizzle in 4 tbs extra-virgin olive oil until the dressing emulsifies. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust balance — more honey for sweetness, more vinegar for brightness, or a pinch more salt if needed.
Assemble & finish
Dress and toss
Pour about two-thirds of the mustard dressing over the greens and vegetables; gently toss to coat. Add the sliced roasted chicken on top of the dressed salad.
