Accompaniment

Description

This quick and easy salad is perfect for those sweltering summer nights when the last thing you want to do is turn on your oven.

Method

1
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!

Chef's 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.
