Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
- 4 diagonal slices baguette (1 inch thick)
- 1/2 cup shredded aged Cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil or canola oil
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 head escarole (about 1 pound), torn into bite-size pieces
- 3 cups sliced sweet, crunchy apples (about 2 medium)
- 1/4 cup slivered red onion
Directions
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
-
Sprinkle chicken with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
-
Oil the grill rack. Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 15 minutes total. Grill baguette slices over the coolest part of the grill until toasted on the bottom, 1 to 3 minutes. Turn over, sprinkle with cheese and cook until the cheese melts, 1 to 3 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, whisk oil, vinegar, mustard and the remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add escarole, apples and onion; toss to coat.
-
Slice the chicken. Divide the salad among 4 plates, top each with some chicken and serve with the cheese toasts.
