Chicken Salad with Vegetables

Ingredients

• 2 whole chicken breast
• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• ½ medium red onion
• 1 cup croutons
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

2. 2

   While the chicken cooks, halve the 1 cup cherry tomatoes, dice the 1 cucumber, and thinly slice the 0.5 red onion.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the dressing.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, combine the 4 cups salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Pour the dressing over and toss to coat.

5. 5

   Top the salad with the sliced chicken and 1 cup croutons. Serve immediately.

6. 6

   For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of dried oregano or a squeeze of lemon juice if you have them.
