From the Test Kitchen

For our take on panzanella (or Italian bread salad), you’ll make your own golden brown croutons to toss with fresh tomatoes, spinach, and cipolline onions—small, delicately sweet onions marinated in balsamic vinegar for delightful, tangy flavor. It’s the perfect savory complement to seared chicken finished with a creamy hot honey sauce.

Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the rolls. Pick the rosemary leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves. Halve the tomatoes; place in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Roughly chop the onions. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. In a bowl, whisk together the honey (kneading the packet before opening), mascarpone, and as much of the hot sauce as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

Cook & slice the chicken
2 Cook & slice the chicken

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, slice crosswise. 

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.
