Инструкции

  1. Place chicken in a medium size saucepan and add water to cover 1 inch above the chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board; shred into bite-size pieces when cool enough to handle.
  2. Combine pesto, mayonnaise and onion in a medium size bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Whisk oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add greens and tomatoes and toss to coat. Divide 2 cups green salad on each of 4 plates and top with 1/2 cup chicken salad per plate.
