• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and peel carrot. Using a peeler, shave carrot lengthwise into ribbons, rotating as you go, until you get to the core. Discard core. Halve, core, and dice apple into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Finely chop parsley. Roughly chop walnuts.

• In a large bowl, toss mixed greens with carrot ribbons and apple. Set aside.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. • Add 2 tsp vinegar, 1⁄4 tsp thyme (we sent more), 1 tsp sugar, and a splash of water (for 4 servings, use 4 tsp vinegar, 1⁄2 tsp thyme, and 2 tsp sugar). Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and jammy, 2-3 minutes. (TIP: If pan seems dry, stir in more splashes of water.) Season with salt and pepper. • Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.

• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for onion over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Remove from pan and set aside. Cover to keep warm.

• Return caramelized onion to pan. Stir in stock concentrate, 1⁄2 tsp vinegar (1 tsp for 4 servings), and 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4). Cook, stirring, until combined and thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat. Stir in crème fraîche, cream cheese, half the parsley, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until combined. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in water 1 TBSP at a time.

• Drizzle dressing over salad; toss to coat. • Divide chicken and salad between plates. Pour sauce over chicken. Top salad with walnuts. Garnish everything with remaining parsley and serve.
