- Whisk in the Dijon mustard and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Using a sharp knife, remove the peel and white pith from orange and grapefruit. Cut between the membranes to release the segments.
- In a large bowl, toss Romaine lettuce with parsley and set aside.
- Season chicken with salt and black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides (10-12 minutes total). Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook shallots over medium heat, until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add rosemary, garlic, and stock and bring to a boil. Return chicken to skillet, skin side up. Transfer to oven and roast until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C / 165°F, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Dress the salad with vinaigrette. Add the citrus segments to the greens and combine.
- Serve salad with chicken.
NOTES
- Alternatively, you can use chicken breasts but they will take longer to cook. Use a thermometer to ensure internal temperature of 75°C / 165°F is reached
- Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook your chicken in batches
- If you can find pre-peeled shallots, you’ll save quite a bit of extra prep time
- You can substitute clementine for orange
