Rotisserie Chicken Panzanella Salad

  • 1/2 loaf  sourdough boule or baguette or other rustic bread, cut into chunks

  • plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

Make the dressing:  Place the 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.  Seal and shake vigorously until emulsified, about 20 seconds.

Arrange the shredded chicken, tomatoes and bread on a platter. Scatter the corn and sliced red onion over the top. Drizzle with the dressing. Tear the leaves from the 1/2 bunch basil over the salad. Season with more salt and pepper as needed. Toss and eat immediately.

Cook’s note:  If you desire crustier bread, drizzle the bread cubes with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and toast in a 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.
