Spicy Italian Grilled Chicken & Mixed Bell Pepper Salad

Created by MissTwiss on November 16, 2014

6 to 7 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast (must be seasoned with salt and pepper then grilled, the chicken should NOT be cold when using for the salad)
1 red bell pepper
1 small green bell Pepper
1 small yellow bell pepper
1/2 orange bell pepper
1 poblano chile pepper
1 small jalapeno pepper
1 small red onion (thinly sliced)

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
2 pints cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes, I suggest to use one red and one yellow pint)
3/4 cup kalamata olives (halved)
30 basil leaves, washed, dried and sliced into small pieces

Step 1: Core, seed, and thinly slice all of the peppers and chiles.
Step 2: Dice the grilled (WARM) chicken then put in a large bowl along with the sliced peppers, chiles, and onion.
Step 3: Whisk together the two vinegars, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup olive oil. Toss the vinaigrette with the chicken and peppers and let stand for 30 minutes to an hour.
Step 4: Add the tomatoes, olives, and basil. Gently toss, season to taste with salt and pepper, and let stand at least another 15 minutes before serving.
