Microgreen Salad with Slow Roasted Chicken Breast

Microgreens with Chicken

I’m a little in love with the microgreens I picked up from Riverwards Produce. Ā It’s always a treat to have them out to eat because you can’t really find them in the grocery stores. Ā Even Whole Foods only has a half-hearted, overpriced selection. Ā So as soon as I saw the container from local NJ farm,Ā Pinelands Produce, I plopped them right in my basket. Ā Between the microgreens and the ramps, I can’t wait to go back to my favorite new Fishtown, Philadelphia produce market. Ā Let’s put some chicken on these greens!

I’ve posted before on how to prepare a perfectly juicy pan roasted chicken breast. Ā I did this one completely in the oven. Ā I preheated the oven to 275Ā°F and cooked the brined bone-in chicken breastĀ for about 45 minutes until it reached an internal temp of 140Ā°F. Ā Then I cranked the oven up to 400Ā°F for 10 minutes until it reached 155Ā°F.

Once I let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, I carved it off the bone and in to smaller slicesĀ for plating. Ā All the pan drippings were mixedĀ with lemon juice and tossed with the microgreens.Ā I had some beets I baked for 45 minutes until tender which I diced up as well. Ā It was really as delicious as it looks, if not more so!
