jm-chicken-squash-salad-680x680

What You’ll Need:
Rotisserie chicken
Kabocha squash
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Balsamic vinegar
Farro
Kale
Radichio
Red onions
Parmesan cheese
Walnuts

What to Do:
Pre-heat over to 400° F.

Prep and roast your Kabocha squash: Cut squash in half lengthwise, and then slice the halves into quarter circles. Cover with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Roast for about 20 minutes or until soft.

Once your squash has finishing roasting, up the oven to 450°. F. Quarter a red onion and cover with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast onion for 30 minutes, or until soft and brown.

In the meantime, boil 2 cups of water. Add 1 cup of farro and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer until the farro has absorbed all of the liquid.

Take your FreshDirect rotisserie chicken and cut the breasts into 5-6 pieces.

Assemble your salad: Start with kale and radichio, top with roasted squash and red onions, add farro, and then top with raw walnuts and grated parmesan cheese.

Link in bio to shop ingredients

What you'll need:
1 - 8 ounce Norwegian salmon fillet, skinned, deboned and divided into two 4 ounce fillets
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
¼ cup honey
½ teaspoon sambal
1 tablespoon sliced red or green chilies

What you'll do:
1. In a heavy bottom sauce pan over medium high heat, add honey, sambal and chilies. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and set aside. The longer the honey sits the more flavor the chilies release.
2. In the meantime, pat salmon dry and season with salt, coriander, smoked paprika and fresh cracked pepper.
3. Add oil to a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add salmon to the pan, presentation side down.
4. Cook the salmon for four minutes; flip and cook for another three minutes. Top salmon with glaze while in pan, to coat each filet.
5. Transfer to serving plates, top with more chili sauce, serve with brussels sprouts or your favorite vegetable, if desired.
