Instructions
- Place the chicken in a saucepan with the onion, garlic, and salt and add water to cover.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- Allow chicken to cool in the poaching liquid, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the skin and bones and shred the meat into large, bite-size pieces. Set aside in a large bowl.
- Place all dressing ingredients except oil, salt, and pepper in a food processor. With the motor running, slowly pour in olive oil. Taste for salt and pepper and add accordingly.
- Toss lettuce with enough dressing to coat lightly. Add remaining salad components and the chicken on top of lettuce and serve with extra dressing on the side.

- You can use a rotisserie chicken and remove skin and bones and shred the meat into large bite-size pieces. You should have about 4 - 5 cups shredded meat.
- The original Green Goddess dressing contains lots of tarragon. Feel free to experiment with other different fresh green herbs such as tarragon, cilantro, chervil, or mint.
- For a diary-free version, use ½ cup of silken tofu in place of the yogurt and increase the lemon juice to 3 tablespoons.
- You can sub half of the chives for green onions.
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
