Ingredients

1/2 cup Red wine vinegar

4 Garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon Finely chopped red onion

1 tablespoon Finely chopped celery

Cracked black pepper, to taste

4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each 4 ounces

2 Garlic cloves

8 cups Leaf lettuce, washed and dried

16 Large ripe (black) olives

2 Navel oranges, peeled and sliced

Preparation

To make the dressing, in a small bowl combine the vinegar, garlic, olive oil, onion, celery and pepper. Stir to mix evenly. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler. Away from the heat source, lightly coat the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray. Position the cooking rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.

Rub the chicken breasts with garlic, then discard the cloves. Grill or broil the chicken until browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes each side. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Arrange 2 cups lettuce, 4 olives and 1/4 of the sliced oranges onto 4 plates. Top with 1/4 of the chicken strips and drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.
