A note about serious food allergies

Porcinis are all about cooperation and working together; when they're growing in the dirt, they form a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship with the roots of the tree. The shrooms get the sugars the tree naturally produces, and the tree gets more surface area to access water and nutrients. The cooperation and helpfulness exist in this meal, too, where they bring rich earthiness and perfect umami, while the cream cheese and Parmesan bring nutty goodness and amazing creaminess. Teamwork making the dream work. Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Place mushrooms in a heat-safe mixing bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside, 2 minutes.

    While mushrooms sit, peel and mince shallot.

    Quarter apple and remove core. Cut into 1/4" slices.

    After 2 minutes, remove mushrooms from water and coarsely chop.

    Pat chicken dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Make the Bacon Vinaigrette

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add bacon and half the shallot (reserve remaining for sauce) to hot, dry pan. Stir occasionally until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.

    Transfer shallot and bacon to a mixing bowl and combine with sherry vinegar, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Return pan used to cook bacon and shallot to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add chicken breasts to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

    Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil. Keep pan over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Add mushrooms and remaining shallot to hot pan. Cook until shallot softens, 60-90 seconds.

    Add 1/4 cup water, cream cheese, and Parmesan. Stir until combined and cream cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. If sauce is too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

  5. 5

    Make Salad and Finish Dish

    Add spinach, apple, walnuts, and a pinch of salt to bowl with bacon vinaigrette. Toss or gently combine.
