Grilled Chicken & Bread Salad

This dinner was a perfect meal for the middle of summer - grilled chicken and fresh veggies in a salad. I really wish we had a better grill because the chicken didn't come out perfect but it was still tasty. I loved the salad though. Make sure you get the bread nice and crispy so it holds up to the dressing. I also seasoned the salad with a bit of garlic powder, salt and pepper. The salad will feed at least 4 people and you can make 2 pieces of chicken per person as well.

ingredients

• 1/2 day old baguette
• 1/2 cucumber, chopped into 1/2" pieces
• 1/2 small red onion, sliced thinly
• 1 cup black olives
• handful of crumbled feta
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• 2 bone in chicken thighs
• 2 chicken drumsticks
• olive oil

directions

1. Brush the baguette's cut side with olive oil, garlic powder and salt. Preheat grill to medium heat and char the bread. Meanwhile baste the chicken with some olive oil, S&P. Cook the chicken for 35 minutes until cooked through, turning to cook evenly.

2. Chop the bread in 1" cubes and place in a large bowl with tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives and feta. Toss to combine with some olive oil. When ready to serve drizzle some lemon juice on top for extra flavor.

Serve the chicken either on top of the salad or on the side. This meal comes together rather quickly and is great when are short on time. 

Enjoy!
