This all started with boneless skinless chicken thighs which were on sale at the grocery store for $1.29/lb. Of course the smallest package was almost 2 pounds - so I divided it into two ziploc bags with marinade. One had a dill/lemon/honey and one was balsamic and herbs. I also had left over brioche rolls (surprisingly I didn't eat them all since Sunday night!) - Yes! Balsamic pulled chicken sandwiches! And all those fresh veggies I picked up at the store would make an awesome chopped salad.
Balsamic Pulled Chicken Sandwiches
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
3 rolls
Salt, ground black pepper, oregano, basil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
3 rolls
Salt, ground black pepper, oregano, basil
Marinate chicken in the vinegar and spices overnight or for a day or two. Grill until cooked through and slice while hot to get the pulled effect. Pile on rolls and top with cheese, sliced tomato, bbq sauce or any other condiments you'd like.
Chopped Salad
1/2 head of romaine lettuce
1/2 cup grape tomatoes sliced in half
1/3 green pepper
2 stalks celery
Choice of dressing
Chop all of the veggies into 1/2 inch pieces and toss to combine so it looks like one uniform salad with lots of colors. Add any toppings you'd like - sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, etc.
