Fresh Balsamic Chicken Salad image

This flavorful salad uses reduced balsamic vinegar in its dressing, making it a sweeter version than the traditional balsamic vinaigrette. Feel free to use a leftover chicken breast in the salad...I ended up creating this salad to use one up!

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup balsamic vinegar
2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
