Chicken Spinach Salad



You will need:


- 12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 6 cups torn spinach
- 2 red peppers or green sweet peppers, cut into bite-sized strips
- 2 cups torn leaf lettuce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

Step 1:
In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, spinach, pepper strips and sliced red onion. Cover and chill the salad for up to 2 hours.

Step 2:
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized strips. Toss the chicken with the lemon-pepper seasoning and rosemary.

Step 3:
In a 10-inch skillet or wok, stir-fry the chicken strips and garlic in hot oil over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes (or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink).

Step 4:
Remove the chicken from the skillet and add to the salad mixture.

Step 5:
To make the dressing: add the vinegar and water to the skillet, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Pour the dressing over the salad, gently tossing to mix.

Step 6:
Transfer the salad to individual salad plates and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired. Serve warm.
