Worthy of a Special Occasion

Leftover Mediterranean Grilled Chicken is paired with a zesty yogurt sauce. If your bakery has fresh focaccia, use it instead of a commercial brand.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3  tablespoons  plain fat-free yogurt
  • 1  tablespoon  Rosemary-Garlic Rub
  • Mediterranean Grilled Chicken breast halves
  • 1  teaspoon  lemon juice
  • 1  teaspoon  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/8  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 3  cups  trimmed arugula
  • 1  (8.8-ounce) loaf rosemary focaccia (such as Alessi), cut in half horizontally and toasted
  • 1/2  cup  thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4  cup  chopped pitted kalamata olives

Preparation

Combine yogurt and 1 tablespoon Rosemary-Garlic Rub.

Remove the Mediterranean Grilled Chicken from bones; thinly slice. Combine juice, oil, salt, and pepper; drizzle over arugula, tossing to coat.

Spread yogurt mixture over cut sides of bread. Arrange arugula, sliced chicken, onion, and olives over bottom half of loaf; cover with top half of loaf. Cut into 4 wedges.

(Totals include Rosemary-Garlic Rub and Mediterranean Grilled Chicken)

I used a balsamic vinagrette rather than the rosemary rub b/c the rub wasn't that good. It didn't lend alot of flavor to the chicken.04/22/09

This is delicious and one of the only recipes my husband requests! I couldn't find arugula in Safeway, so we just used lettuce and that was good too. Perfect for the day after the mediterranean grilled chicken.10/09/02
