Preparation
Step 1
MAKES 1 SERVING
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for bruschetta topping and mix well. Cover and refrigerate.
Spray a grill pan (or skillet) with nonstick spray, and bring to medium heat on the stove. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in the pan. Cook for 4 - 5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Once cool enough to handle, slice chicken into strips and set aside.
Place lettuce on a large plate or in a large bowl. Add bruschetta topping and chicken. Sprinkle with Parm-style topping, and top with string cheese coins.
Top or serve salad with dressing. EAT!
