Instruction

  • Make the marinated chicken in air fryer recipe, chill it, and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • Prepare your fennel bulb by removing the stalks and core. Slice the fennel into very thin half moons using either the slicing blade of a food processor, a mandoline, or a good knife.
  • Drain the canned mandarin oranges.
  • Divide the baby arugula between four salad containers or serving bowls.
  • Top each bowl of lettuce with an even amount of sliced fennel bulb, oranges, cooked chicken, olives, pistachios, and sunflower seeds. Garnish with the fennel fronds.
