BALSAMIC CHICKEN PASTA SALAD
I love all the colors and flavors of this quick and easy dish and serve it often in summer, to the delight of my guests! You can't beat the combination of Gorgonzola and bacon. Leftover grilled shrimp makes a tasty substitute for chicken. -Terry McCarty, Oro Grande, California

FREDS' CHICKEN SALAD WITH BALSAMIC DRESSING
This salad is a perennial favorite at Freds, the glittery see-and-be-seen restaurant inside Barneys New York. The recipe calls for a whole roasted chicken, so you'll need to build in time to allow one to cool after roasting, or you can use leftovers or a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead. When prepping the vegetables and pear, make sure the pieces are more or less the same size. And remember to sprinkle the pear with lemon juice to keep it from discoloring, and cut the avocado just before serving. Precision never goes out of fashion.

Steps:
- Roast the chicken (if you're using a cooked, store-bought chicken, skip this step): Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a rack in a roasting pan. Rub 1 tablespoon salt around the inside of the cavity, then stuff it with the thyme, lemon and garlic. Tie the legs closed with cooking twine. Rub olive oil over the entire bird, and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon salt and the black pepper. Place on the rack and roast for 72 to 80 minutes. After 72 minutes, begin testing for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the leg, close to the bone. The chicken is done when the thermometer reads 165 degrees. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
- When cool enough to handle, remove the skin from the chicken. Use your hands to remove all the meat (remember, it will be hotter internally) and shred into 2-inch strips. If you're not going to make the salad for a few hours, place the meat in the refrigerator, but be sure to remove it and let come to room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes before serving, to bring out the best flavor.
- Make the dressing: Place all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor and pulse for about 30 seconds, until everything is combined. With the machine on low, slowly drizzle in the oil until dressing is emulsified.
- Assemble the salad: Drizzle pears with lemon juice to prevent them from browning. In a large mixing bowl, combine pears, greens, beans, tomatoes, onion, avocado and half the chicken meat. Add some of the dressing and toss to make sure everything is lightly coated, adding more dressing if needed. Divide the mixture equally among 4 or 6 plates. Lay the rest of the chicken on top and serve immediately, passing the remaining dressing in case people want to add more.

- In a small bowl or large measuring cup, briskly whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until blended.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or large ziptop bag and pour half of the balsamic mixture over the top. Cover the dish (or seal the bag) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. Reserve the other half of the (unused) balsamic mixture for serving.
- Spray an indoor grill pan or a regular nonstick pan with nonstick spray and heat to medium high. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the used marinade. Once the grill pan is hot, place the chicken breasts the pan and cook for 3 minutes. Flip, then cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Flip the chicken back to the first side, then reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking the chicken for an additional 9 to 10 minutes, turning once or twice, until it is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. The actual cooking time may vary depending upon the thickness of your chicken. Remove to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm, and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into bite-size pieces or longer slices as you prefer.
- To serve: Place the spinach, blackberries, and onion in a large serving bowl. Drizzle with remaining dressing, then toss to coat. Place the avocado and chicken on top, then sprinkle with the feta, basil, and pecans. Enjoy immediately.
