Chicken

Whole30 and Paleo Compliant twist on one of my Summer faves: The Caprese Salad . This is a great "make ahead" lunch option. The longer the flavors marinate together, the better it tastes!

Time 10m

Yield 2 Cups, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 grilled chicken breast, cubed (6-8 oz)
1 -2 vine ripened tomatoes, diced with juice
1 garlic clove, minced
4 -5 leaves fresh basil, chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Dice tomato(es) and combine in bowl with salt, olive oil, basil & garlic, let flavors combine for 5 minutes (the salt will draw out the juice from the tomatoes).
  • Add diced grilled chicken and stir to combine.
  • Top with freshly ground black pepper (optional) or for a spicier twist add a few shakes of dried Red Pepper Flakes.
  • Refrigerate until ready to eat (the diced chicken will absorb some of the liquid from the tomatoes giving it TONS of great flavor).
