Chopped Greek Salad with Chicken - Salad Recipe

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 of boneless, skinless chicken breasts while you prepare the rest of the salad. Serve with pita bread and hummus.

Ingredients

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

Directions

  1. 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.

Tips & Techniques

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.
