This amazingly delicious dish came from myrecipes.com but I found it floating around Pinterest. I was a little worried about how my family was going to react but every single one of the kids loved it--even the non-lettuce eating ones! I did leave out the tomato because I didn't have one and the onion because I didn't feel like onion that day.
I made the vinaigrette ahead of time, while I was fixing lunch, to speed up meal preparation that evening. My husband grilled up the chicken seasoned with salt, pepper and Natures Seasoning (Have you ever tried that? If not, go to your grocery store and buy some. It makes veggies and meat taste that much better.) but you could probably cook it in a skillet or in your broiler.
