Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a fire in a grill.

Brush the chicken breasts with the 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the chicken breasts on the grill rack about 4 inches from the fire and grill until golden brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the chicken and continue to grill until golden brown on the other side and opaque in the center, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool for 20 minutes, then cut across the grain into very thin strips.

Place the chicken strips in a large bowl and add the bell, pasilla and jalapeño peppers and the onion. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the chicken mixture, toss to mix and return to the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

To serve, add the cherry tomatoes, olives and basil to the chicken mixture. Toss well and transfer to a serving bowl or individual plates. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
