Asparagus Salad with Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus, peeled
- 1/4 lb. bacon, plain or apple-smoked, diced
- 1 bunch flat parsley, chopped
- hazelnuts or pine nuts
- 3/4 lb. chicken breast
- shallots, diced
- sherry vinegar
Preparation
Roast the chicken breast in the oven until juicy tender. Peel the asparagus and blanch in boiling, salted water (about 90 seconds). Slow cook the bacon and then strain out the bacon fat and set the bacon aside. Saute the shallots in the bacon fat until golden brown, add the nuts, flat parsley and a few drops of sherry vinegar; then add the bacon back in and toss. Slice the chicken on top of the asparagus. Serve warm. Serves 2.
