Preparation
Cook the chicken
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Roast the kohlrabi
Meanwhile, peel and medium-dice the kohlrabi. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the remaining spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 16 min., until tender and slightly crunchy.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, finely chop the dill fronds and stems. Drain and rinse the lentils.
Make the salad
In a large bowl, combine the baby greens, kohlrabi, lentils, ⅔ of the dill, the vinaigrette, remaining spices and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the salad between your plates. Top with the chicken. Garnish with the remaining dill. Bon appétit!
