Rotisserie chickens have become all the rage in our local supermarkets—and why not? They can be the base of a quick, almost-homemade dinner in no time. Here, roasted chicken turns into an easy salad with some crusty garlic bread on the side.

Prep Time:20 minutes
Ready in:20 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ease of Prep:Easy
Recipe Ingredients
 2 cloves garlic , peeled
 3 tablespoons cider vinegar or white-wine vinegar
 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
 1/4 cup Kalamata olives , pitted and chopped
 8 cups mixed salad greens
 4 1/2-inch slices whole-wheat country bread , toasted
 1 2-pound roasted chicken (hot or cold), skin discarded, sliced into large pieces (see Ingredient Note)


Recipe Directions
  1. Mince one garlic clove and whisk with vinegar, oil and olives in a medium bowl. Toss greens in the dressing to coat well.
  2. Rub each bread slice with the remaining garlic clove. (Discard garlic.) Divide the salad among 4 plates, place chicken on top and serve with the bread.

Ingredient Note: Store-bought rotisserie chicken is convenient and practical-but much higher in sodium than a home-roasted bird. Even the unseasoned varieties have been marinated or seasoned with salty flavorings. People with hypertension should think twice before choosing store-bought.
4 ounces home-roasted chicken: 100 mg sodium
4 ounces rotisserie chicken: 350-450 mg sodium

Health Advantages: low carb, low sat fat, low sodium, heart healthy.
