Preparation
Step 1
Add water to large Dutch oven to depth of 1 inch and bring to boil. Spread potatoes and carrot evenly on steamer rack. Place steamer rack in Dutch oven. Cover and steam vegetables until almost tender, about 9 minutes. Add broccoli florets to steamer rack; cover and steam until all vegetables are just tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer vegetables to large bowl and cool to room temperature.
Step 2
Add chicken and red onion to bowl of vegetables. Combine oil and garlic in small saucepan. Cook over low heat just until garlic begins to sizzle, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Whisk in lemon juice and thyme. Pour warm dressing over salad and toss to coat. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper.
