By boscobojo

Ingredients

• 1 soft baguette (10 oz.), but into 3/4 inch cubes
• 1 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to about 1/2 inch thick
• 3 Tbl. olive oil
• 2 large tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges
• 1 small English cucumber, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4 inch pieces
• 1/2 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 4 oz. reduced fat feta, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
• 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
• 3 Tbl. red wine vinegar
• 1 Tbl. drained capers

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the baguette cubes on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until toasted, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a large grill pan over medium. Brush the chicken with 1 tsp. oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until charred in spots and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Let the chicken rest 5 minutes. Cut into 3/4 inch squares.

In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, feta, basil, vinegar, capers, remaining 2 Tbl. plus 2 tsp. oil, the chicken, and the baguette cubes; season.
