1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or tenders
a generous sprinkling of each - garlic powder, paprika, and salt & pepper
10-16 ounces baby spinach or spring mix
1 large apple cored and thinly sliced*
1 cup blueberries or another favorite fruit - sliced strawberries, halved raspberries, pomegranate seeds, diced pears

4-6 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola, Feta, Goat, or Blue Cheese
1 batch balsamic vinaigrette (may not use all of it)

Steps:

  • To make chicken (if using): Preheat oven to 450ºF. Season chicken and bake for 17-20 minutes, (or until 165 degrees internally). Once cooked, cover with foil for 10 minutes to seal in the juices.

Cooked chicken can be chopped and tossed in the salad or sliced and served over the top or served alongside the salad. Drizzle the salad with the vinaigrette, and toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining cheese.
