MEDITERRANEAN SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS



Mediterranean Salad With Grilled Chicken Breasts image

From Pam Riesnberg, Home Appetit, from a cooking class that I took. It was wonderful-there is short marination for the chicken and it is grilled on a stove top in a grill pan and the salad and dressing are easy to assemble. This would be nice for a luncheon or a party.
