    6 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 20 fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 shallots, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 skinned rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 3 cups torn romaine
  • 2/3 cup chopped roasted sweet red peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette
  • 3/4 cup pistachios, toasted
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries
  • Fresh goat cheese, optional

Directions

  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts and shallots; cook and stir until browned and tender, 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with salt; drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Cook 2-3 minutes, reducing liquid and stirring to loosen browned bits from pan.

Editor's Note
To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
