Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the parsnip
Heat the oven to 425°F.
- Scrub or peel the parsnip and trim the ends; cut the parsnip in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
On one end of a sheet pan [on 1 sheet pan], toss the parsnip with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.
2
Prep the chicken
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
On the other end of the sheet pan [on a 2nd sheet pan], drizzle the chicken with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil and rub with the paprika spice blend.
3
Roast the parsnips and chicken
Roast, stirring the parsnip and turning the chicken halfway through, until the parsnip is tender and lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes, and the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the roasted parsnip to a medium bowl while the chicken continues roasting. While the parsnip and chicken are roasting, prepare the remaining ingredients.
4
Prep the remaining salad ingredients
- Cut the celery on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces.
- Core and cut the pears into ½-inch pieces.
- Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
5
Make the vinaigrette; assemble the salad
In a small bowl, stir together the maple vinaigrette base and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
To the bowl with the roasted parsnip, add the celery, pears, parsley, and as much vinaigrette as you like and toss to coat (set aside any remaining vinaigrette for serving). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the chicken and parsnip and pear salad to individual plates. Serve any remaining vinaigrette on the side.
