Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 cup pear tomatoes, sliced in rounds
- 1 kirby cucumber, unpeeled, quartered lengthwise and sliced
- 3 pepperoncini peppers, stemmed and minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 chicken paillards (scaloppini), about 4 ounces each
- Olive oil spray
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear to a coarse paste. Put the garlic paste in a large bowl and stir in the olive oil and lemon juice. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, pepperoncini, and dill and toss. Give a couple of generous grinds of black pepper. Toss again, and set aside.
- Preheat a grill pan or nonstick skillet to medium high. Spray the chicken paillards lightly with the olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill the chicken, in batches if necessary, to avoid crowding the pan, turning once, until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Place each paillard on a plate and serve topped with the tomato-cucumber salad.

Have made similar menu over the years. Why people say it’s bland is curious to me. If you find it bland to your taste, add your own touches to bring it to your level of expectations. A little more salt, the addition of favorite cheese to salad, maybe a little more color on the chicken or the addition of your favorite seasoning. You will have the perfect meal and can call it your own recipe.
Great flavor! I used garlic paste, bottled lemon juice, 3 diced Roma tomatoes, 1 diced English cucumber, omitted the pepperoncinis, all other ingredients as listed and served with store bought rotisserie chicken breast. It made 3 servings of the salad. Easy, tasty, fresh. Thank you for the idea.
I thought this was delicious ! I don’t measure the salt, pepper, lemon juice or dill. I just sprinkle and taste. I add a small bit of the pepper juice to the mix. I really enjoyed this its so simple
Just in time! My garden is full of fresh organic produce to add to salads
ADD spices that you like to make it not bland…… Then it becomes your own dish! Get creative!
Very easy but also very bland. Wouldn’t make it again.
Healthy eating never tasted so good!
Ummm
Yummm !!!
Yummm !!!
Really enjoyed the salad. Some people in the comments don’t know what a salt shaker is or what the phrase “to taste” means though
Can someone please tell me what a chicken paillard is?
