		= (abt 4 1/2 to 5 lbs)
3/4 cup	177ml	Defatted chicken broth
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1		Hothouse (seedless) cucumber
2 tablespoons	30ml	Fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup	59ml	Extra-virgin olive oil

		Tough outer leaves removed
1		Ripe cherry tomatoes - halved
1/3 cup	78ml	Imported black olives
1/4 lb	113g / 4oz	Roquefort cheese - cut into chunks
1/2 cup	20g / 0.7oz	Whole flat-leaf parsley leaves

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place the chicken in a shallow baking pan to fit. Pour the broth on top, season with salt and pepper and bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through, basting once or twice. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Cut chicken into thirds, diagonally; set aside.

Using a vegetable peeler, cut 4 strips vertically along the cucumber. Halve the cucumber lengthwise and then cut into 1/4-inch slices; reserve.

For the dressing, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Tear the lettuce leaves into medium-sized pieces and place atop the dressing. Add the tomatoes, olives, reserved cucumber and chicken. Gently fold together from underneath, coating with dressing.

Add the cheese and parsley; toss carefully.

Adjust seasonings and serve in a very large, shallow bowl or on a large, decorative platter.
