Step 2

Rub each bread slice with the remaining garlic clove. (Discard garlic.) Divide the salad among 4 plates, place chicken on top and serve with the bread.

Tips

Ingredient Note: Store-bought rotisserie chicken is convenient and practical--but much higher in sodium than a home-roasted bird. Even the unseasoned varieties have been marinated or seasoned with salty flavorings. People with hypertension should think twice before choosing store-bought. 4 ounces home-roasted chicken: =100 mg sodium 4 ounces rotisserie chicken: 350-450 mg sodium
