Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 cups salad, 3 ounces chicken, and 1 tablespoon feta cheese)

Ingredients

  • 1/4  cup  fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 2  tablespoons  red wine vinegar
  • 1  teaspoon  sugar
  • 1  teaspoon  dried oregano
  • 2  teaspoons  olive oil
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 1  garlic clove, minced
  • 4  (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • Cooking spray
  • 8  cups  torn romaine lettuce
  • 1  cup  sliced cucumber (about 1 small)
  • 8  pitted kalamata olives, halved
  • 4  plum tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
  • 2  (1/4-inch-thick) slices red onion, separated into rings
  • 1/4  cup  (1 ounce) crumbled feta cheese

Preparation

Prepare grill or broiler.

Combine the first 8 ingredients in a small bowl. Brush the chicken with 2 tablespoons dressing; set remaining dressing aside.

Place chicken on grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray; cook for 5 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

Combine the romaine lettuce and the next 4 ingredients (romaine lettuce through red onion slices) in a large bowl, and toss with the remaining salad dressing. Divide the salad evenly among 4 plates; top each serving with sliced chicken, and sprinkle with feta cheese.

This is excellent, and so easy. Marinate the chicken the day before, and serve with flatbread -- 30 minutes from start to table, and even our 2 and 5 year olds love it.06/04/09

This was a very good, easy recipe. I used a rotisserie chicken, doubled the dressing and added a splash of balsamic vinegar. It's great for a weeknight meal.04/24/09
