Ingredients
- One chicken breast boneless/skinless
- 2 table spoons Sumac
- One tablespoon Zahtar
- 2-3cups mix of your favorite greens (arugula, radicchio, spinach, baby greens, no iceberg or romaine)
- One scallion finely chopped
- One cup shredded feta cheese or goats cheese
- One tomato finely chopped
- Good extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of half a lemon
- Kosher salt
- Pita or flat bread
Directions
First start by grilling or broiling your chicken breast, use a little canola oil season with salt and pepper and grill off or broil.
When done let it rest for at least ten min if not longer.
Now take your greens and bunch them together and roll them into a log now cut from one end to the other so we have nice small ribbons of the greens this will also give a nice texture and air to the salad.
Now add the tomato, scallion, cheese and 1 to 2 tablespoons of Sumac depending on how much sumac flavor you want, start around the edges of the bowl and drizzle about 2 tablespoon of your olive oil you don’t want it directly on the greens, now take the juice of half a lemon and squeeze it in the bowl.
Using a large spoon mix the salad by sliding the spoon to the bottom of the bowl and bringing it up through the greens keep doing this until everything is nicely distributed and will almost increase in volume by 1/3 (I know this sounds strange but this is the same reasons chefs flip pastas in pans to build some air in the dish) check for seasoning should be good if you cheese is nice and salty.
To finish cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch strips fan out and drizzle more of the olive oil on and a good sprinkle of Zahtar and finish with some kosher salt on the chicken.
Serve with warm pita bread. I like to tear the pitas into 2 inch pieces and use it to pick up the salad and a piece of chicken the perfect bite!
Enjoy kids this one will energize you all day!
