Chicken Panzanella Salad

by Irene Lindvall


I like a quick lunch that isn't a sandwich. We love sandwiches but we eat a lot of them so I love a salad that is filling. Over the years I've also learned to use and love red wine vinegar and make any recipe that utilizes it. I would say this is similar to a Greek salad minus the olives, but it's even more than that.

I was able to put the whole salad together while the chicken was cooking (my ideal lunch scenario). I should not have put the croutons in first to soak up all the vinegar but other than that, the salad was delicious. 

Things I learned from this recipe:

The last couple of recipes that required chicken said to cook it on medium-high heat. In the past I've cooked it on medium heat and it never seems to cook as fast or thoroughly as I'd like. I'm definitely going to be sticking with a little higher heat.

Would I make this recipe again?:

We are eating it for lunch again tomorrow.

The recipe

I couldn't find the actual Weight Watchers recipe anywhere online, but the link is pretty close. I used regular vine tomatoes, added yellow bell pepper, and used croutons instead of crusty baked bread to save time.
