<br>HG's Better Bruschetta Chicken Salad
<br>
<br>Brusch' Up!
<br>
<br>We love the idea of a salad topped with chicken and a delicious tomato mixture, but the one at Applebee's is straight-up SILLY. Feast your eyes on our beauteous bowl of greens...
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>Bruschetta Topping
<br>1 cup chopped plum tomatoes (about 2 tomatoes)
<br>1/4 cup chopped red onion (about 1/4th of an onion)
<br>2 tbsp. drained and chopped roasted red peppers (packed in water)
<br>2 tbsp. sliced black olives, finely chopped
<br>1 tbsp. chopped fresh basil
<br>1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
<br>
<br>Salad
<br>One 4-oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast cutlet
<br>Dash each salt and black pepper
<br>4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
<br>2 tsp. reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping
<br>1 stick light string cheese, cut into coins
<br>2 tbsp. fat-free or low-fat balsamic vinaigrette
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for bruschetta topping and mix well. Cover and refrigerate.
<br>
<br>Spray a grill pan (or skillet) with nonstick spray, and bring to medium heat on the stove. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in the pan. Cook for 4 - 5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Once cool enough to handle, slice chicken into strips and set aside.
<br>
<br>Place lettuce on a large plate or in a large bowl. Add bruschetta topping and chicken. Sprinkle with Parm-style topping, and top with string cheese coins.
<br>
<br>Top or serve salad with dressing. EAT!
