Chicken Tomato Salad

Created by on February 12, 2017

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • 5 cups lettuce (any mix will do)
  • 2 cups halved multicolored cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 12 hard boiled eggs, halved

Instructions

  1. Heat a large grill pan over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Coat pan with cooking spray. Place chicken in pan; cook 5-6 minutes on each side or until done.
  2. While chicken cooks lay lettuce in the bottom of a large dish. Place tomatoes around one edge and the halved eggs along the other. Nestle the chopped onion near the eggs.
  3. When your chicken is done cooking and slightly cooled, slice it. Set the sliced chicken in the center of your eggs and tomatoes.
  4. Serve with dressing of your choice.

This salad holds a special place in my heart for one big reason... it was the first salad I was able to make with ingredients entirely from our homestead. We raised the chickens and butchered them ourselves, we grew the gorgeous cherry tomatoes, onion, and lettuce. There are even a few "weeds" in there! Being able to prepare beautiful food from the land and animals we have raised is quite a feeling of accomplishment. Sharing that experience (the work as well as the eating!) with my children is something that I hope makes an impact on how they view food.
