Ingredients:
- 1 8-ounce boneless skinless chicken breast, trimmed
- ¼ cup red-wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 230g frozen shelled edamame (about 1 1/2 cups), thawed
- 8 cups chopped romaine (about 2 romaine hearts)
- 1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
- ½ European cucumber, sliced
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup slivered fresh basil
- ¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
- ¼ cup slivered red onion
Instructions:
- Add chicken into a medium-sized saucepan and pour water until it covers the chicken by 2 inches. Allow it to boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer until a thermometer shows 70 °C when inserted into the chicken, which will take around 12 to 15 minutes. Move the chicken to a cutting board and wait for 5 minutes before shredding or chopping it into small pieces.
- Simultaneously, mix vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. Include edamame, romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, feta, basil, olives, onion, and the cooked chicken; stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
