Keto Salad Lyonnaise with Crispy Chicken Skin
A keto-friendly version of the classic French salad, featuring crisp lettuce, rendered bacon, poached eggs, and a tangy Dijon vinaigrette. Replaces croutons with crispy chicken skin.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken skin
- 4 slices Bacon
- 8 cups Mixed greens
- 4 Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the 4 pieces of chicken skin in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven, let it cool on the baking sheet, then crumble it into small pieces and set aside.
- 2Place the 4 slices of bacon in a large, cold skillet. Cook over medium heat for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and browned. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside. Carefully pour the reserved bacon fat into a heatproof container and set aside.
- 3Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Carefully crack the 4 eggs into the simmering water, one at a time. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and set them aside on a plate.
- 4In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined. This is your vinaigrette.
- 5In a large salad bowl, add the 8 cups of mixed greens. Drizzle about half of the prepared vinaigrette over the greens and toss gently to coat.
- 6Divide the dressed mixed greens among 4 serving plates. Top each salad with a portion of the crumbled bacon, the crumbled crispy chicken skin, and one poached egg. Serve immediately.
