Preparation
Roast the beets & onion
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Peel and halve the beets and onion; cut into ½ inch wedges. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 20 to 23 min., until tender.
Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with 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.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, roughly chop the lettuce.
Make the vinaigrette
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, mustard, 4 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the lettuce between your bowls. Top with the chicken, beets and onion. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Garnish with the salad topper. Bon appétit!
