White Bean and Roasted Chicken Salad

I have made this a few times and really enjoy it. quick, easy, flavorful. made exactly as written, served with a slice of french baguette. great for summer lunch or dinner.

I tried this recipe after reading all of the wonderful reviews, and I was very disappointed. It was bland! My family did not like it at all.

Yuck!! This was bland and nasty. I only ate 4 bites. Will never make it again!

Very easy & tasty as others have said. I made a big batch on Sunday evening & my husband & I are taking it for lunches this week. I roasted two chicken breasts & used Progresso butter beans...substituted shallot for the onion because it was what I had on hand. I'll definitely make this one again.

I made this for a potluck but subbed in tuna packed in oil for the chicken b/c I had a can on hand. This was a big hit. Since the tuna was in oil, I reduced the oil in the dressing. Served w/a sliced baguette. Had several requests for the recipe. Will make again. bmac - I'm not sure I can really recommend something to sub in for the onion. Maybe try shallots or green onions instead if your looking to dial down the onion flavor. ?

We really enjoyed this recipe. We'll definitely make it again. The only change I made was to mice the onions because my hubby doesn't like large pieces of onion.

I liked all of the salad ingredients, but didn't like the dressing.

Super easy and very tasty. Served with pita bread for lunch. Leave sit for at least a few hours or overnight so the flavors meld. Used rotisserie chicken and Progresso Cannellini beans

This was quick and tasty! I made it for guests for lunch and it was a hit. Used white meat of 2 chickens and saved the dark meat for another use. Served it over curly lettuce leaves and sliced avocado fanned out beside the salad. It looked beautiful and tasted even better. Will make this again for quick weeknight meal.

I have to quite agree with the rest of the reviewers. This recipe is awesome and so very versatile. It makes growing herbs at home so very worth it. I think even without the chicken it would be grand. For those who don't have chicken on hand or are vegetarian.

I subbed morningstar chicken strips and diced them along with the onion. fer browning the chicken strips I added to the bean mixture. I also cubed some avacado and put on top when serving. very good.

Made this last night and it went over well. My boyfriend gave it an "A," though I wouldn't call it a household favorite. It was simple to put together. I used 4 6-oz. packages of Tyson prepared grilled chicken breast strips, warmed in the microwave for 3 minutes. I served over top of a bag of mixed salad greens alongside sliced French bread broiled with some melted butter on top.

This recipe is a "keeper". I followed the recipe exactly as you had it and there is nothing that I would change. Love, love, love it! .....and No Cooking!

This is one of my all time absolute favorite Cooking Light recipes. I make it whenever I have left-over chicken.

I have not made this recipe yet but I have a question. What should I use in lieu of the onion? I am not the greatest cook and need some help in the area of substitution. Thank you for any help.

Loved it. Took basic recipe and a few ideas from other reviewers. I took the five basic items. Used pre-packaged cooked chicken strips for time. Chopped them up. Used cherry tomatoes cut in half. Used fresh basil from my patio garden. Served over a bed of chopped romaine lettuce and the dressing as in the recipe. Added a lucious chopped ripe avocado. What a great meal for a warm summer evening here in the desert. Served with warm french bread. White wine. Loved it. Had some left over. I was alone the next night and finished it off. Definitely even better the second night after all the flavors really meld together. Thanks

Took this to a family reunion, and it was the first dish that ran out. I made it the night before so the flavors had a chance to blend. I grilled some chicken breasts and used chickpeas, we already have made this again just this week. It is better the next day.

We enjoyed this salad very much. I don't understand why some reviewers thought it was bland, it was anything but. The combination of flavors and textures was excellent. I was lucky enough to find some really good tomatoes and that was a plus. I cooked some chicken breast instead of the rotisserie chicken.

This was fast and easy to make as well as very flavorful. A little tangy, a little spicy. I used grilled chicken breasts and Great Northern beans. I omitted the onion because I didn't have one and used sundried tomatoes because that is what I had. The kids didn't like it, but that is expected...they don't like much anyways.

I didn't have any cannellini beans on hand so used Great Northern beans instead...too mushy for me. It does have potential though. I might try it again, this time using the recommended beans.

Pretty darn delicious! Took about 6 minutes to prepare, 3 very small changes, I used packaged already made chicken breast, I used 2 different white beans, and yellow onion, much milder then red. Now, im new to Basil, I didn't care for it in the salad, but it's all in your taste buds. Easy, easy, easy and pretty good. Give it a try!

I thought this dish was very good. The dressing was nice and light, yet full of flavor. A good blend of ingredients. The only complaint I would have is maybe a little too many beans.

have been making this for years...its delicious and gets better as a leftover. this has become one of our summer staples and has impressed many guests!

Easy, quick, delicious. I left out the tomatoes because I don't like them and used Navy beans. I would bring this as a dish to a party.
