Ingredients

  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • baby spinach washed
  • 2 shallot sliced
  • 1 apple sliced (choose any variety you'd like, I used Gala)
  • 1 cup strawberries sliced
  • 1/2 cup walnuts roughly chopped, toasted
  • 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 1-2 in chicken breast seasoned to your liking - what I used will be the notes section below
  • FOR THE HONEY HERB VINAIGRETTE:
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1-1/2 tsp thyme or about 1/2 tsp of dried thyme, fresh
  • 1 tsp parsley minced, fresh
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat grill or indoor grill pan (even a regular ol' skillet will work too), over MED heat.
  2. Season chicken breasts as desired, then place on grill and cook about 4-5 minutes per side (or until juices run clear and chicken is cooked through and golden).
  3. Set chicken aside to rest.
  4. While chicken is cooking, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
  5. While chicken is resting, add walnuts to a small DRY skillet and toast over LOW heat for several minutes, or until nuts are fragrant and slightly toasted.
  6. Add spinach to a serving bowl, then top with shallots, apples, strawberries, walnuts, and blue cheese.
  7. Slice (or dice) chicken, and place on top of the salad.
  8. Drizzle with vinaigrette as desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • I seasoned my chicken with a sprinkle of salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and all-purpose grill seasoning.
