A touch of fresh tarragon brings refined French flair to the table. Swirled with apple cider vinegar and briny capers, it’s a bistro-worthy finish for a classic salade verte of curly leaf lettuce.

Preparation
Make the parsnip ‘frites’
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Peel and cut the parsnips lengthwise into ½ inch wedges. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 20 to 25 min., until tender.
Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ½ the remaining 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.
Make the vinaigrette
Meanwhile, pick the tarragon leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, capers, tarragon, vinegar, 5 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Make the salad
Roughly chop the lettuce. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce and ⅔ of the vinaigrette.
Plate your dish
Divide the chicken, salad and parsnip ‘frites’ between your plates. Drizzle the parsnip ‘frites’ with the remaining vinaigrette. Bon appétit!
