Categories     easy, salads and dressings

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 small red onion, halved and sliced across the grain
1 pound fresh, sweet ripe but firm tomatoes, cut in wedges
12 kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar (more to taste)
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
3 to 4 tablespoons chopped or torn fresh mint leaves (to taste)
1 heart of romaine lettuce, washed, dried and torn or cut in 1-inch pieces, or 1 bag arugula or spring mix, washed and spun dry

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the chicken breasts well with salt and pepper. Toss them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Heat a grill pan or a cast iron pan over high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 2 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear if using a grill pan, or until nicely browned if using a regular pan. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted in the thickest part. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile place the sliced onion in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for 5 minutes, drain and rinse well. Drain on paper towels.
  • When the chicken is cool enough to handle tear it into bite-size pieces or a little bigger than bite-size and place in bowl. Add the onion, tomatoes and olives. Season with salt and pepper and toss with the lemon juice, vinegar and remaining olive oil. Add the mint and feta and toss again.
  • Line a platter or wide salad bowl with the lettuce. Top with the chicken and tomato salad, and serve.

Million Dollar Chicken Casserole image

Creamy and incredibly savory, it's a casserole that's hard to stop eating. The cottage cheese is the trick to getting such a creamy, melty texture. Using rotisserie chicken is a must for the recipe and helps keep it quick.

Provided by Amanda Stanfield

Categories     Chicken Casserole

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup cottage cheese
½ cup sour cream
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons Creole seasoning
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
5 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
30 buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • If you're looking for a more flavorful dressing, you can add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese or a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing.
  • This salad is also great with grilled or roasted chicken. If you're using grilled chicken, be sure to let it cool slightly before adding it to the salad.
  • If you're making this salad ahead of time, be sure to store the dressing and the salad separately. When you're ready to serve the salad, just toss the dressing with the salad and enjoy.

Conclusion:

Cottage cheese chicken tomato salad is a healthy and refreshing salad that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and nutritious salad that the whole family will enjoy.
