Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 whole skinless and boneless chicken breasts (about 4 1/2 to 5 pounds)
3/4 cup defatted chicken broth
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 hothouse (seedless) cucumber
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 heads Boston lettuce, cleaned, tough outer leaves removed
1 pint ripe cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup imported black olives
1/4 pound Roquefort cheese, cut into chunks
1/2 cup whole flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • 2. Place the chicken in a shallow baking pan to fit. Pour the broth on top, season with salt and pepper and bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through, basting once or twice. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Cut chicken into thirds, diagonally; set aside.
  • 3. Using a vegetable peeler, cut 4 strips vertically along the cucumber. Halve the cucumber lengthwise and then cut into 1/4-inch slices; reserve.
  • 4. For the dressing, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Tear the lettuce leaves into medium-sized pieces and place atop the dressing. Add the tomatoes, olives, reserved cucumber and chicken. Gently fold together from underneath, coating with dressing.
  • 5. Add the cheese and parsley; toss carefully.
  • 6. Adjust seasonings and serve in a very large, shallow bowl or on a large, decorative platter.

I'm allergic to chicken. Is there a substitute I can use?

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and rich. I served it over rice and it was a perfect meal.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly. It was cooked through but still moist, and the skin was crispy. The sauce was also delicious and flavorful.
