2 cups of cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup of pesto
1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup of cucumber, diced
1/4 cup of red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh greens for serving
If your chicken isn't cooked yet, I recommend using rotisserie chicken for convenience. Shred it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken. Pour in the pesto and stir gently until the chicken is well-coated.
Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and chopped red onion, and gently fold them in.
Season with salt and pepper, and adjust as necessary.
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
Let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
When you’re ready to eat, lay a bed of fresh greens and scoop the salad generously on top.
