Chicken BLT (Bean, Lettuce & Tomato)

with Smoky Tomato dressing

I didn't think I'd like this, but it was sooooo yummy!


Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 12oz Tomatoes 
• 1 C nonfat plain Greek yogurt
•  1 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar
• 1/2 tsp natural smoked sea salt (which I didn't have -so, I used 1/4 tsp smoked paprika & 1/2 tsp sea salt.)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 C chopped chives 
• 1 large head Bibb lettuce, washed and dried well (I used the bag salad, the baby leaf stuff)
• 1 large cucumber, peeled, quartered and sliced into 1/2" thick pieces
• 1 15 oz can unsalted white beans (cannellini, great northern or navy), drained & rinsed

Instructions:

1. In a medium covered saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil (I salt the water).  Add chicken & reduce heat to low.  Poach, covered, until cooked through, about 15 minutes.  Remove chicken & set aside until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.  Cut into 1/2" cubes.
2. Prepare dressing: Quarter 1 tomato.  Add to a blender w/yogurt, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.  Blend until smooth, about 30 sec.  Stir in chives.
3. Dice remaining tomato.  Divide lettuce, cucumber, beans, chicken and tomato among 4 plates.  Toss each salad with a quarter of the dressing.
