Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  • Instructions

  • 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.
