Garlic Chicken Salad

This garlic chicken salad will change your mind about ‘boring’ salads! The flavors in this one salad will simply floor your taste buds! It starts with a simple base of romaine lettuce and loads of delicious veggies, including avocado of course! No California girl would make a salad without avocado! I make this salad very often and I love to add whatever type of veggies I have on hand into the mix, so feel free to add your favorites!

Ingredients :
  • Sliced peperoncino peppers
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Sliced avocado
  • Cesar salad dressing, or similar
  • Sweet canned corn
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried basil, dried oregano
  • Black pepper
  • Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1/3 - 1/4 cup White wine
  • 1 tablespoon Capers
  • 2 Large chicken breasts, split
  • Large tomato, chopped
  • 8 - 12 cups Chopped Romaine lettuce
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • Red or green bell pepper, chopped
  • Sliced cucumber or small zucchini
Directions :
  1. Prepare the chicken first. Preheat a large pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the chicken breast into the hot pan and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the remaining marinade ingredients: garlic, capers, white wine, basil and oregano. Stir the mixture to coat the chicken nicely. Continue cooking the chicken over medium-low heat until cook thoroughly. Smaller, thinner pieces will take about 8 minutes. Larger pieces may take up to 15 minutes. The internal temperature of the meat needs to reach 160 degrees F.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the salad. Toss your favorite salad toppings together with Romaine lettuce and Cesar salad dressing. You can also use a zesty Italian dressing or champagne dressing.
  4. To serve, slice the hot chicken into thin strips and place directly on top of a salad.
