Made this today for this week's brown bag lunches. Didn't want to turn on the oven so I put the chicken in the slow cooker with all the same ingrdients as above with the addition of some chicken stock. Used greek yogurt instead of regular. A little seasoned salt and pepper. Deeeelish! Great light summer lunch.

This salad is fantastic and garners lots of praise. I make it without chicken and us split sweet grape tomatoes. I find Earthbound (organic mixed baby greens) has the best combination of mild and tart flavors. Don't take shortcuts, use fresh lemon just and fresh zest. Don't overdo on the lemon just it loses its subtlety. Top with coarse pepper and coarse salt. This is a great companion for grilled meats and fish.
