Mediterranean Salad with Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Dill
  • 1 head Romaine
  • 3 pieces Roasted Bell Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata Olives
  • 1/4 cup Green Olives
  • 1 T Orange Zest Zest from 1 orange
  • 1 Orange Supremed
  • 1/4 cup Orange Juice
  • 1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the chicken in EVOO and sprinkle with thyme, oregano and dill dried spices. I didn't measure, I just sprinkled over the chicken. I would guess 1/2 to 1/2 tsp each.

  2. After the chicken is done cooking set it aside and cut up the romaine into bite size pieces and wash it. I use a salad spinner to help with the process.

  3. Zest the orange and save for later

  4. Supreme the orange. I put a link for a step by step how to in the body of this post.

  5. After removing the orange pieces, squeeze the juice out of what is left into a container that you make your dressing in.

  6. Cut up the roasted red peppers and olives

  7. Chop the nuts if you choose to use them in your salad

Make the Dressing

  1. In the container with the orange juice, add in enough red wine vinegar to make a 1/4 cup of liquid total

  2. Add in 1/4 cup of EVOO

  3. Whisk together. It should get thick.

  4. Mix all the salad fixings together, pour over the dressing and enjoy!
