Salad:
• 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2 inch
• 11 cups torn romaine lettuce

Pound chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to even 1/2 inch cutlets. Grill on medium high heat about 5 minutes each side or until done and lightly browned on the outside. Combine chicken, lettuce, bell pepper, and red onion slivers in a large bowl.
