Provencale Pepper-Chicken Salad 
(Herbs de Provence = 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil, rosemary and thyme)

4 (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon dried herbes de Provence
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 garlic cloves minced
Lemon Pepper
Olive oil-flavored cooking spray
3/4 cup chopped green onions
1 julienne-cut green bell pepper
1 julienne-cut red bell pepper

1/4 cup sun-dried tomato sprinkles
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced

1. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy duty wrap
plastic.  Flatten each breast to 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet or
rolling pin.  Combine herbes de Provence salt, pepper and 2 garlic cloves

2.  Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium

Drizzle 2 tablespoons vinegar over each salad, top each with olives,
pickled garlic and pepperoncini to taste.
