Strawberry Vinaigrette Almond & Grilled Chicken Salad!
OOOHHH, juicy grilled marinated chicken nestled on a bed of greens & veggies that are loaded with strawberries, almonds, feta cheese & chow mein noodles! This is the taste of SPRING!
1/2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast per person
Bagged Salad your Favorite
Fresh Strawberries cleaned & sliced saving one whole berry for garnish
1 Bottle of a Vinaigrette Dressing ( I used Superfruit Berry by Wishbone, any fruity vinaigrette dressing would be good or Balsamic would be good)
Any Veggies you choose ( I chose red onion, thawed frozen peas, fresh sliced tomato, celery & green pepper) sliced to nice bite sized pieces for the onion, celery & pepper , about 2 TBS of each veggie per salad)
Feta Cheese about 2 heaping TBS per Salad
Sliced Almonds 2 TBS per Salad
Chow Mein Noodles 2 TBS per Salad
Marinate chicken in 2/3 Cup of your dressing over night in the refrigerator. Grill on the cold side of the grill not over the open flame for about 45 minutes or until juices run clear. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO GRILL just wrap chicken loosely in foil & bake about 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven! While chicken is grilling arrange green salad on serving plates about 1 & 1/2 cup of greens per person. Sprinkle veggies over greens then the almonds, then the strawberries, then the feta cheese, sprinkling the chow mein noodles around the outer edge of the salad. When chicken is done, bring in & slice into thin diagonal strips & lay over the top of the arranged salads. Pour a generous amount of the dressing over the chicken then top with one strawberry to serve. This is very good with a hot crusty roll or warm pita bread! Hearty & pretty this salad will please!
