Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     main-dish

Time 5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup lite balsamic vinaigrette
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
3/4 teaspoon sugar
8 cups baby spinach
1/3 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup sliced cucumbers
1 1/3 cups cooked store-bought chicken breast, cut into strips
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the dressing:
  • Combine vinaigrette, raspberries, and sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth; set aside.
  • For the salad:
  • In a large bowl, toss together spinach, onions, raspberries, cucumbers, and half of the vinaigrette.
  • Divide mixture among 4 chilled plates. Add chicken strips to mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons dressing. Divide among the plates. Garnish with feta, pecans, and black pepper. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best. They will cook quickly and evenly.
  • Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries will give you the best flavor. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed.
  • Make sure your balsamic vinegar is of good quality. A good quality balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you overcook the chicken, it will become dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Balsamic raspberry chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the raspberry sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
