Basil, Chicken, and Tomatoes

Basil, Chicken, and Tomatoes Image

Similar to a Caprese salad, this is a simple recipe that can be done with leftovers, or as a main meal. It's quick and simple, so you can make it after a quick visit to Niagara Produce after work! Try it and see the delicious results for yourself!

 

Ingredients:

4 large tomatoes

1 deli-roasted chicken

1 avocado, halved, peeled, and sliced

1/4 cup olive oil

1 lime (cut to be used for lime juice)

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions:

1. Cut tomatoes into wedges. Use forks to pull chicken meat from bones and shred into large pieces. Discard bones and skin (or use for soup!)

2. Separate tomatoes onto 4 dinner plates, then pile chicken and avocado slices on top. Drizzle with olive oil, and squeeze lime juice over top.

3. Sprinkle with basil, salt, and pepper.
