Ingredients

  • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  • 1 cup freekeh
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 12 ounces total)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 bunch Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn
  • 1 medium kohlrabi, peeled, cut into matchsticks
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • Shaved Asiago cheese and chopped fresh chives (for serving)

Method

  • Whisk garlic, cheese, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in cream and oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • DO AHEAD:
  • Cook freekeh in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water until al dente, 20-25 minutes; drain, shaking off water. Spread out on a baking sheet; let cool.
  • Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until browned and cooked through, 6-7 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate; let cool slightly, then shred with 2 forks.
  • Combine chicken, freekeh, kale, kohlrabi, and radishes in a large bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Top salad with cheese and chives.
