- Cost: Economical
- Preparation time: 20 Minutes
- Portions: 4 people
- Cooking methods: Stovetop
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: Autumn, Winter
Ingredients
- 1 head radicchio (preferably Chioggia radicchio)
- 2 boneless chicken thighs (I used thinly sliced chicken)
- 1 Golden apple
- 3 pickled gherkins
- 1.75 oz walnut kernels
- 3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
- to taste salt
Tools
- 1 Salad Spinner
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Chef Knife
- 1 Grill Pan
Steps
For this preparation, I use thinly sliced chicken that I buy already portioned at the supermarket meat counter, but boneless chicken thighs are also fine.
Detach the radicchio leaves, wash them, and dry them using a salad spinner. Then chop it into small pieces. Slice the pickled gherkins into rounds. Slice the boneless chicken thighs and cook them on a lightly oiled grill pan until golden on both sides. It will take about fifteen minutes depending on the thickness of the meat. Alternatively, you can use an air fryer, setting it to 365°F for 15 minutes and turning the chicken halfway through cooking. Peel the apple, remove the core, and slice it into thin wedges. Arrange the ingredients on a serving plate, season with oil and salt, and finish with the roast chicken and walnut kernels.
Notes
Optionally, you can add fresh scamorza cheese cut into small cubes.
