Timing

Prep

45 minutes

Cook

30 minutes

Step One

Step One

Place the chicken thighs in a shallow baking dish. Toss with the cracked black pepper and the Worcestershire sauce. Turn to coat the chicken well, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

Step Two

For the dressing, whisk together the red wine vinegar, the Dijon mustard, minced shallots and salt. Continue whisking and drizzle in the olive oil. In a small bowl, combine half of the dressing with the green beans and cherry tomatoes and set aside to marinate. Reserve the remaining dressing for serving.

Step Three

Heat your lightly greased grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Grill the chicken thighs for 10 to 15 minutes on each side until firm to the touch and cooked through. Chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 170 F. Remove the cooked thighs from the grill and let rest 2 to 3 minutes before slicing.

Step Four

To assemble your salad, divide the lettuces between 4 plates. Mound with equal portions of the marinated green beans and tomatoes. Slice the chicken and place on top of the salad. Drizzle with remaining salad dressing and garnish with chopped basil and parsley.
