Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a warm salad with chicken? Since the salad should be served warm, the dressing should be prepared in advance. This dressing is based on honey and olive oil. And you can take everything else at your choice. I have balsamic vinegar, salt and ground pepper. You can replace the balsamic with lemon or lime juice, add ground Provencal or Italian herbs instead of salt. The main thing is that you like the gas station.
Step 2:
Mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and ground black pepper. Whisk everything thoroughly with a whisk or fork until smooth.
Step 3:
Now you can start cooking the salad itself. Tomatoes for this recipe are better to take small, but strong. So that they retain their shape at all stages of cooking. Plum or cherry will do. You can replace feta with any other cheese: mozzarella, cheese, Adyghe cheese, cottage cheese or melted cream.
Step 4:
Wash and dry the chicken fillet. Brush it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with spices.
Step 5:
Wrap the fillets in foil and bake in the oven at 180 ° C for about 30 minutes until cooked. Leave the chicken fillet in the cooling oven, as it should be warm when serving. Baking in the oven can be replaced by cooking or frying chicken in a frying pan.
Step 6:
While the fillet is baking, wash the tomatoes, dry them and cut them into slices or circles.
Step 7:
Wash the eggplants, dry them and also cut them into medium slices.
Step 8:
Wash the parsley and basil, dry and chop finely.
Step 9:
Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan and fry the eggplants, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
Step 10:
Put the tomatoes in a frying pan with the eggplants and heat everything together for 1 minute.
Step 11:
Remove the hot chicken fillet from the foil and cut into thin slices.
Step 12:
Put lettuce leaves mixed with tomatoes, eggplant and chicken pieces on a dish. Crumble the feta on top. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve it to the table. Enjoy your meal!
Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.
How to remove the bitterness from eggplant? Cut the eggplant into plates, circles or cubes, add salt, leave for about 10 minutes until the juice is released. Drain the resulting liquid, rinse the eggplants and start cooking.
Please note that in some cases there is no need to remove the bitterness from eggplants - usually young vegetables are not bitter, as well as some special varieties of them.
