Time 2h30m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt, to taste
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, cut across into thin strips
8 cups crustless bread cubes (1 inch) from good, firm, country-style bread
About 1 1/4 cups water
9 large tomatoes, cored and cut into medium dice
1 large red onion, peeled and cut into small dice
4 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • To make the chicken, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and pepper in a large, shallow dish. Add the chicken and coat on both sides. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
  • To make the salad, toss the bread with just enough water to moisten it completely. Let stand for 10 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water and place in a bowl. Toss with the tomatoes, onion, garlic, parsley and rosemary. Mix in the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Store in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Start a charcoal grill. Grill the chicken until just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Slice the chicken on the diagonal into thin strips.
  • Divide the salad among 6 plates. Fan the chicken over the salad and garnish with the basil. Serve immediately.

I used grilled shrimp instead of chicken and it was delicious. I also added some crumbled feta cheese and it was a great addition.
