Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup frozen (thawed) nonalcoholic margarita mix
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 1/4 lb)
6 cups bite-size pieces assorted salad greens
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 medium mango, peeled, pitted and sliced
1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced

  • Cover and grill chicken over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, turning and brushing occasionally with 1/4 cup dressing, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
