Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- about 1.25 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast diced into bite-sized pieces
- salt and pepper for seasoning
- ¼ cup Marzetti® Simply Dressed® Balsamic Salad Dressing
- 2 to 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar plus more for dressing the salad
- 4 cups romaine or Italian lettuce blend
- 1 or 2 medium tomatoes diced (I used Roma, vine-ripened or cherry tomatoes may be substituted)
- ¾ cup fresh mozzarella I used small balls called ciliegine; another type of mozzarella may be substituted
- ¾ cup English cucumber diced (regular cucumbers may be substituted)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh basil or to taste finely minced
Instructions
- To a large skillet, add the olive oil, chicken, evenly season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is 90% cooked through. Stir and flip intermittently to ensure all sides cook evenly.
- Add 3 tablespoons Balsamic Salad Dressing, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, stir to combine and make sure all pieces of chicken are coated.
- Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat or until chicken is cooked through. Allow chicken to rest in pan, off the heat, while you plate the salad.
- To a large platter or bowl, add the lettuce, tomatoes, mozzarella, cucumber, chicken, and evenly sprinkle with basil.
- Drizzle with salad dressing and balsamic vinegar, to taste. Toss to combine and serve immediately.

Notes
- If you can't find this dressing in your area, I recommend another balsamic-based dressing. Or my homemade balsamic reduction would be especially delicious here!
