Chicken Panzanella
Summer is here and I am looking for light suppers. I am always looking to expand my lunch menu too! This Chicken Panzanella is perfect! Panzanella is basically a salad made with bread! YUM!
I added some grilled chicken, you could use rotisserie chicken also. Or if you are vegetarian, leave out the chicken and add chick peas, or whatever else your heart desires.
