6 ounces cooked chicken, shredded 

½ cup cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

6 cups lettuce, chopped 

2 tablespoons red onion, slivered 

¼ cup pesto 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

2 tablespoons parmesan 

Directions 

1. In a microwave safe bowl or small saucepan heat chicken and cannellini beans to 165°F, about 3 minutes. 

2. In a larger mixing bowl combine pesto and olive oil. 

3. Add beans and chicken to pesto and toss to coat. Add lettuce and toss to coat.
