Instructions

For the Chicken
    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the chicken with the marinade ingredients and marinate for 2 hours. Once marinated, remove from the marinade, and grill both sides until just cooked through. Transfer to cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Slice against the grain and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives and red onion. Add croutons and dressing
For the Croutons
  1. Drizzle the bread with olive oil, garlic and seasoning mixture. Transfer sliced bread to grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes until each side is golden brown. Remove from grill and let cool before ripping apart and serving. Add to salad ingredients
For the Vinaigrette:
  1. Combine all the ingredients and whisk until emulsified. Drizzle over salad. Add basil as needed.
To Assemble
  1. Combine all components on a large platter and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Toss and serve immediately.

Notes

  • The vinaigrette lasts for a week in the fridge, and I promise you'll want to slather it on everything! And the croutons make a ton so I know you'll snack on them as well.
