Chopped Greek Salad with Chicken - 11g Carbs, 3g Fiber
From: EatingWell - July/August 2009
Chicken turns this Greek-inspired salad into a substantial main course.
Feel free to substitute other chopped fresh vegetables, such as broccoli
or bell peppers, for the tomatoes or cucumber. Use leftover chicken,
store-roasted chicken or quickly poach a couple boneless, skinless
chicken breasts while you prepare the rest of the salad. Serve with
pita bread and hummus.

is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes.
