Preparation
Cook the chicken
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Pat the chicken* dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spices and S&P. Cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Make the vinaigrette
Meanwhile, juice the lemon. In a small bowl, combine the mustard, up to ½ the lemon juice, up to ½ the garlic, 3 tbsp olive oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Sauté the mushrooms
Quarter the mushrooms. In the reserved pan, heat 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium-high. Add the mushrooms, remaining garlic and spices, and S&P. Sauté, 5 to 6 min., until golden brown and tender. Transfer to a large bowl to cool and add the remaining lemon juice; toss well.
Make the salad & serve
In a second large bowl, combine the baby greens and vinaigrette. Divide the salad between your plates. Top with the mushrooms and chicken (slice beforehand if desired). Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
