Ingredients

1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/2 pounds thin-sliced chicken cutlets (4 to 5 pieces)

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon ground sumac, plus more for topping

6 cups chopped romaine lettuce hearts (2 heads)

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered

6 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed and thinly sliced

1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced into half moons

1 1/2 cups crushed pita chips

1/2 cup chopped fresh mint, plus more for topping

4 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet, in batches if necessary, and cook until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil.
  2. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the vinegar, sumac, lettuce, tomatoes, sugar snap peas, cucumber, 1 cup pita chips and the mint in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss well to coat.
  3. Slice the chicken into strips. Divide the salad among plates and top with the chicken, feta, remaining 1/2 cup pita chips and more mint. Sprinkle with more sumac, if desired.
