      Dear Catherine, How beautiful and colorful this dish is. It looks so lively and fresh. I love a great salad and this is fabulous as the chicken is added to it. Love the chickpeas with the chicken and with this dish you can add whatever greens you like. Wonderful meal for a hot September day. Thanks for sharing, as usual your recipes are delicious. Have a blessed weekend with your family...Dottie 🙂

      Looks delish - do you bake your own chicken? I am sure you do then cut it up.
