Winter Chicken with Caesar Salad

Steps

• 1
  First, prepare the brine for the chicken breasts.
• 2
  For this, crush 2-3 sprigs of thyme, 20 black peppercorns, 2 cloves of garlic, and 20 dkg coarse salt in a mortar.
• 3
  Pour 4 liters of hot water over this, mix, cover, then let it cool.
• 4
  Then add the chicken breasts, for 2-3 hours depending on their size.
• 5
  Clean the vegetables, cut them into bite-sized pieces, season with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme, then bake in a tray at 170 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. This will be the base of our salad.
• 6
  Cut the bread into cubes, toast them in a little olive oil, then add a piece of butter and toast them with it as well, then set aside.
• 7
  Sear the chicken breasts in a little hot oil for 3-4 minutes on both sides, then place them in a 170-degree Celsius oven for 10 minutes. This will keep them juicy.
• 8
  Serve our salad with the roasted vegetables, chicken breast, bread cubes, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan shavings.

  You can try the recipe with fish fillet, shrimp, or even in a vegetarian style. Brining the chicken this way has a very good effect on its juiciness; try this method with other recipes too.
