Poached Chicken

Place chicken in a large pot along with enough water to cover the chicken by about 1 inch.
Bring water to a boil. Then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Chicken should be ready in about 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken.
Once chicken is fully cooked, remove from water, let cool then shred with a fork.

Roasted Bell Peppers

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line baking sheet with foil.
Place peppers cut side down on baking sheet and place in oven for about 30 minutes (skins should blacken).
Let cool and cut into smaller pieces when ready to eat.

Putting it together

When ready to eat, add lettuce to a bowl, and top with shredded chicken, roasted bell peppers, steamed mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumber and red onion. Dress with about 2-3 tbsp cilantro-lime dressing and then garnish with cilantro and feta.
