I forget about this in the wintertime. And then the first warm day, when I'm seized with the impulse to open the doors and cook summer food, it's one of the first things I make. I serve it on a bed of greens with a good loaf of bread.
YOU WILL NEED
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
olive oil
white wine or champagne vinegar
shallots
fresh basil and fresh parsley
grape or good cherry tomatoes
pitted kalamata olives
3-4 T olive oil, best you've got
2-3 T white wine or champagne vinegar (I like the Colavita label)
1-2 shallots, minced
2-3 T fresh basil and parsley, finely chopped
¼ cup pitted kalamata olives
½ cup grape tomatoes, rinsed
Toss together, add kosher salt and pepper to taste and serve. You can also make ahead and refrigerate, but it's best served at room temperature within several hours of being made.
