    Recipe Introduction


    Chicken turns this Greek-inspired salad into a substantial main course. Feel free to substitute other chopped fresh vegetables, such as broccoli or bell peppers, for the tomatoes or cucumber. Use leftover chicken, store-roasted chicken or quickly poach a couple boneless, skinless chicken breasts while you prepare the rest of the salad

    List of Ingredients




    Chopped Greek Salad with Chicken


    1/3 cup red-wine vinegar
    2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken, (about 12 ounces; see Tip)
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    2 medium tomatoes -- choppe
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill -- or oregano or
    1 teaspoon dried dill -- or oregano
    1 medium cucumber -- peeled, seeded and chopped
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup sliced ripe black olives
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
    6 cups chopped romaine lettuce

    Recipe




    Whisk vinegar, oil, dill (or oregano), garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

    Add lettuce, chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives and feta; toss to coat.


    Tip: If you don’t have cooked chicken, poach 1 pound chicken breasts for this recipe. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water (or chicken broth) to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes.
