Method

  • Whisk the vinegar, oil, thyme or oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Add the lettuce, chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, and feta and toss to coat and serve at once.

  • If you don’t have cooked chicken, poach 1-pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan, add chicken stock to cover and bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes

  • Serve and Enjoy!
  • Tips

    • Take advantage of that leftover chicken, or even buy spit-roasted chicken, or why not speedily poach a couple of boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the same time as you prepare the rest of the salad.
