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.

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.
