3 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 cup Italian salad dressing
1 granny smith apple, cored and diced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped

Toss the diced apple with the lemon juice in a large mixing bowl until well coated; drain and discard any excess lemon juice.

Gently toss the salad with the balsamic vinaigrette, and serve immediately.
