1 Prepare the Ingredients
Peel and slice shallot into very thin rounds.
Mince garlic.Hold romaine hearts at root end and chop coarsely.Halve tomatoes.Pat chicken breasts dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and blackening seasoning. -
2 Make the Crispy Shallots
Line a plate with a paper towel. Place a medium pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
In a mixing bowl, toss shallots with rice flour until evenly coated. Shaking off excess, add shallots to hot pan. Stir constantly until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Larger shallot rings may soak up oil. If pan gets dry, add 2 tsp. olive oil.Remove shallots to towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean -
3 Cook the Chicken
Return pan used to cook shallot to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.
Add chicken to hot pan and cook until blackened and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.True to its name, spices on chicken will blacken when cooked. This is ideal, as toasting spices brings out more flavor.Remove chicken from pan and rest at least 5 minutes. Slice rested chicken into 1/2" slices.While chicken cooks, make dressing. -
4 Make the Dressing
In another mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for garnish), white wine vinegar, garlic, 1 tsp. water, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until creamy.
-
5 Toss Salad and Finish Dish
While chicken rests, add chopped romaine and tomatoes to bowl with dressing and toss to combine. Taste, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
