Marinated Basil Chicken Salad

Though it was 12 years ago, I remember that summer Shabbos morning clearly. Ruchie S. had stopped at my bungalow with a salad and told me I must try it at Shabbos lunch. And I really enjoyed it! A little less oil and a touch more zing…and the result is a fantastic recipe that I know you’ll all love.

Ingredients

Chicken

1 pound chicken cutlets
3 cups Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc or other semi-sweet or semi-dry white wine

Marinade and Dressing

1/3 cup Gefen Light Olive Oil
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons Gefen Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon dried basil or 6 cubes Dorot Gardens Frozen Basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

5 cloves garlic, crushed or 5 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

Salad

1 (8-ounce) bag or 2 heads Romaine lettuce, chopped
1 yellow pepper, diced
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 small red onion, diced

Directions

Step 1 - Prepare the Chicken Cutlets

Place whole cutlets in a pot. Cover with the white wine and bring to boil. Lower heat and let simmer for 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut chicken into cubes.
Prepare the marinade. In a small container, whisk olive oil, vinegar, water, lemon juice, basil, salt, sugar, pepper, and garlic together.
Pour a little more than half the marinade over the cubed cutlets. Place them in the refrigerator to marinate overnight. Reserve remaining dressing.

Step 2 - Prepare the Salad

To assemble the salad, combine lettuce, yellow pepper, grape tomato, and red onion in a large salad bowl.

Step 3 - To Serve

Top salad with marinated chicken cubes and toss with reserved dressing. For individual portions, you can top with marinated chicken after you’ve already tossed with dressing (as pictured).
