Provencal Chicken Salad With Roasted Peppers and Artichokes image

This recipe is from Raising the Salad Bar; a wonderful book I received from the Cookbook Swap. Serve this great salad with some crusty bread and you have meal to remember.I would make this with cherry tomatoes because I am no a big fan of sun-dried tomatoes. To serve this as a vegetarian meal omit the chicken and serve with roasted vegetables.
