Time 27m

Yield 4 salads, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon shallot, finely chopped
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1 dash salt, to taste
1 dash fresh ground black pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
nonstick cooking spray
8 cups romaine lettuce, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
4 large roma tomatoes, cut into pieces
2 ounces bite-size fresh mozzarella cheese balls, drained and cut into small pieces (packed in water)

Steps:

  • For the basil vinaigrette - Place the shallots and vinegar in a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Continue whisking and slowly add the olive oil and basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
  • For the grilled chicken - Spray the grill grate with nonstick cooking spray and then preheat the grill to medium-high. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken on both sides until it is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the breasts. (The chicken can be grilled in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
  • For the green salad - Slice the chicken breasts into strips and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the tomatoes, mozzarella and half of the basil vinaigrette. Place the lettuce in a separate salad bowl and toss it with the remaining vinaigrette. Arrange the chicken, tomatoes and mozzarella mixture on top of the lettuce and serve.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the grilled chicken and the tomatoes, and they don't even notice the spinach in the vinaigrette dressing.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I love this dish even without the chicken. The tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil are so flavorful that you don't even miss the meat.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken from the night before, and I used it to make this dish. It was just as good as when I made it with fresh chicken.

I made a few substitutions to this recipe based on what I had on hand. I used cherry tomatoes instead of Roma tomatoes, and I added a bit of dried oregano to the vinaigrette dressing. It turned out great!

I made this recipe exactly as written, and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was cooked to perfection, and the tomatoes and mozzarella were melted and gooey. The vinaigrette dressing was the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not usually a fan of grilled chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the vinaigrette dressing was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again soon.
