Instructions
Chicken
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the pan and let it get hot.
- While the pan is heating, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parsley flakes in a small bowl.
- Use a paper towel to blot away excess moisture from the chicken breast.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides of the chicken.
- Place the chicken into the hot skillet, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side. You can use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken has fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow the meat to rest while you make the rest of the salad.
Salad
- Wash and dry the lettuce and spinach, and divide the greens between two bowls.
- To each bowl add 2 tablespoons of dried cranberries, 1/2 of the red apple, 1/2 of the green apple, 1 tablespoon chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup chopped blue cheese.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Divide the meat evenly between the two bowls
- Top the salad with the dressing of your choice.
