    Ingredients

    For the Wine-Poached Chicken:

    • 2 quarts of low sodium chicken broth
    • 4 cups of white wine
    • 2 yellow onions, halved
    • 4 cloves of garlic, smashedFitbody Bootcamp
    • 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
    • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

     

    For the Pomegranate Mixed Greens Salad:

    • 6 cups of mixed greens
    • 1/2 of a cup of pomegranate seeds (arils)
    • 3 tablespoons of roasted, salted pepitas
    • 1/2 of a cup of jicama, peeled and chopped
    • 2 avocados, pitted, peeled, and chopped
    • Classic balsamic dressing

     

    Instructions

    1. Place the broth, wine, onions, garlic, and thyme in a large pot over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then gently add the chicken breasts in one at a time. The chicken should be fully covered by the liquid. Add more broth, if needed. Return it to a boil.
    2. Once the liquid boils, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Allow the chicken to poach for 30 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and onions from the liquid. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken and slice the onions. Combine the chicken and onions in a bowl and generously season them with freshly cracked sea salt and black pepper.
    3. On each salad plate, arrange a bed of mixed greens and top with pomegranate seeds, pepitas, jicama, avocado, and a scoop of chicken. Drizzle the salad with Classic balsamic dressing and serve immediately. The chicken should stay good for up to 3 days in your fridge. Enjoy!
