Forthe chicken

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano or basil
  • 8 ounces chicken tenders

Forthe salad

  • 1/2 bunch asparagus
  • 4 cups mixed greens such as arugula and red leaf lettuce
  • 2 radishes, sliced thinly
  • 1 mini cucumber, sliced thinly
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 shallot, roughly chopped
  • 1 Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • Combine the olive oil, garlic,salt, pepper and dried herbs in a large bowl or Ziploc bag and stir to combine.Add the chicken tenders and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes andup to overnight.
  • Meanwhile, prepare thedressing. Add the basil, garlic and shallots to a blender or small foodprocessor and pulse to combine. Add the olive oil and blend on medium untilsmooth. Thin to your desired consistency by adding water 1-2 teaspoons at atime. Set aside until ready to use. Dressing can be made ahead of time and willkeep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days but the color will dull as timepasses.
  • Once the chicken has marinated,remove from the refrigerator and preheat a cast iron skillet or grill pan overmedium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken tenders in a single layer,leaving space between them- you may have to work in 2 batches. Cook untilnicely browned on the first side- about 3-4 minutes and then flip and cook onthe other side until the tenders are fully cooked through. Remove to a cuttingboard and allow to rest while you prepare the salad.
  • Toss all ingredients for thesalad in a bowl- or assemble in two separate bowls. Slice the chicken into bitesized pieces and add to the salad then top with basil dressing.
