Chicken, Potato and Butter Lettuce With Light Ricotta Dressing image

This recipe is based on a Martha Stewart recipe, but with a few adaptations. The dressing actually called for 3 tbs lemon juice , not lime juice and 5 garlic cloves, but I'm not a big garlic fan. I also use part skim requeson, which is very similar to ricotta. When I can't find cherry tomatoes, I just add wedges of Roma tomatoes.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the potatoes and lettuce were excellent. I think I'll try brining the chicken next time.

The chicken was a bit overcooked, but the potatoes and lettuce were good. The dressing was also a bit too tangy for my taste.
