N S T R U C T I O N S
In a wide saucepan or Dutch oven, combine broth,
vinegar, garlic, fresh rosemary sprigs and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce
heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Add chicken breasts; cover and poach gently for
10 to 15 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Transfer to a cutting board
and keep warm. Boil the poaching liquid for 5 minutes, or until slightly
reduced.
Strain, discard garlic, rosemary, and bay leaf, and pour 1/4 cup poaching
liquid into a small bowl. Whisk in oil, shallots, and pepper. Season with
salt if desired. In a large bowl, toss greens with 2 tablespoons of the oil
mixture. Arrange on individual plates. Carve chicken into thin slices and
arrange over greens. Garnish with red pepper and drizzle the remaining
dressing over chicken and peppers. Sprinkle pine nuts, parsley, and
remaining 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary over the chicken.
