Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp. Miso Paste - Gluten-Free
  • 1/2 oz. Honey
  • 1 fl. oz. Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1 Anjou Red Pear
  • 1 Romaine Heart
  • 2 Basil Sprigs
  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 fl. oz. Seasoned Rice Vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. Lemongrass Puree
  • 6 Wooden Skewers

Directions

  1. Combine miso paste, honey, and sesame oil in a small mixing bowl. Set aside. Core and cut pear into ¼” dice. Hold romaine head at root end and chop coarsely. Stem and coarsely chop basil. Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. On a separate cutting board, slice each chicken breast lengthwise into thirds, then halve each piece to create 12 long strips.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together seasoned rice vinegar, lemongrass, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, and basil (reserve a pinch for garnish). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  3. Thread two chicken pieces onto each skewer and set aside on a plate. Season both sides with ½ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  4. Heat outdoor grill or grill pan over medium heat. Coat grill pan with cooking spray. Add chicken skewers to hot grill and cook until well-charred and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side. Brush each cooked skewer with miso-honey mixture.

  5. Place romaine and pear in bowl containing dressing. Toss to combine all ingredients.

  6. Place a serving of salad on a plate and top with skewers. Garnish with remaining basil.
