Step-by-step
- Fill a medium-sized pot with water.
- Add salt, halved cherry tomatoes, a celery stalk, a carrot, half an onion, and a teaspoon of salt.
- Once boiling, add the whole chicken breast and cook over medium heat until cooked. This will take about 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, boil the whole potatoes, unpeeled, until easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain and rinse under cold water to peel more easily, then slice.
- Prepare the dressing by blending or chopping parsley, rinsed capers, extra virgin olive oil, and confit lemon.
- Drain the chicken breast (don't throw away the broth, you can filter it and freeze it for later use) and cut it into thin slices, or shred it.
- Spread the dressing over the still-hot chicken and let it soak in. Set aside any leftovers.
- Meanwhile, prepare the salad: wash, dry, and chop the lettuce, then put it in a bowl.
- Add the sliced radishes, potatoes, chicken, and mix everything together.
- Let it marinate in the fridge for at least an hour and serve with extra sauce as desired.
