TASTY MAYO-FREE CHICKEN SALAD

3/4 pound baked or grilled chicken breasts
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Juice of 1/2 a lemon

1 Tbsp. tiny capers, well-rinsed and drained
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup thin green beans, cooked, drained, and cooled
Romaine lettuce leaves, for serving bed (whole wheat pita bread for sandwiches optional)
2 Tbsp. chopped parsley

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place in a bowl and combine with oil, oregano and lemon juice. Let stand for about 1 hour.

Toss the chicken mix with olives, capers, tomatoes and green beans. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
