Ingredients

  • 1 (9-ounce) baguette, halved lengthwise
  • 16 ounces boneless, skinless, chicken breast (about 2 large breast halves)
  • 10 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds tomatoes (about 4 to 5 large), cored, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 English cucumber, halved, cut into 1/2-inch half moons
  • 1/2 small red onion, sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
  • 3/4 cup basil leaves, roughly torn
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Method

  • Heat grill to moderate heat. Place baguette halves on grill, cut side down, and grill until lightly toasted. Transfer to cutting board and let cool. Cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes and reserve.
  • Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill both sides until just cooked through (160°F). Transfer to cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Place tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, olives, basil, bread, and chicken in a large bowl. Whisk remaining 9 tablespoons oil, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until combined.
  • Pour over salad and toss thoroughly to moisten. Let salad sit 15 minutes. Season to taste and serve.
