Fresh Orange Chicken Salad

This is an really easy and a good salad recipe! But it did take a little longer to make than the time it said.

Hands-on time: 15 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Makes: 2 servings

INGREDIANTS:
1 1/2 cups of cubed bread
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 navel orange
1 tbsp red wine vinegar (I just used cider vinegar)
Pinch of salt and pepper
3 cups of chopped romaine lettuce
1/4 cup if chopped red onion
1/4 cup black olives (I didn't put these in)
225 g (1 cup) of skinless, boneless chicken

INSTRUCTIONS:
1.) On baking sheet, toss bread with 2 tsp of the oil. Bake in 375 degrees F (190 degrees Celsius) oven, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes. 
2.) Meanwhile, cut top and bottom off orange; slice away peel and white pith. Working over bowl, cut between fruit and membranes to release segments into bowl; set aside.
3.) Squeeze 2 tbsp juice from remaining membranes into deprecate bowl; whisk in remaining oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
4.) In a bowl, layer lettuce, onion, olives, reserved orange segments and chicken.
5.) To serve, add dressing and croutons; cover and shake to coat.
