Servings: persons

3 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
6 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
1/4 teaspoons Sea Salt
1/4 teaspoons Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Either Pounded Flat Or Butterflied
10 ounces, weight Bag Salad Greens
2 cups Salad Mix-ins (Sliced Carrots, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Bell Peppers, Etc.)
1 cup Goat Cheese Crumbles
1 whole Recipe, Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette (below)
_____
FOR THE SUN-DRIED TOMATO VINAIGRETTE:
1 Tablespoon Homemade Sun-dried Tomato Pesto (In My Recipe Box)
2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Preferred Sweetener (sugar, Honey, Agave, Etc.)
6 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt And Pepper, to taste

1
Combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, sea salt and pepper in a large zip-top plastic bag, then add chicken breasts. Squish the bag around to coat the chicken, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
2
Preheat BBQ grill or grill pan (or saute pan, if not grilling) to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until cooked thoroughly. Remove from grill and set aside. Let it rest for 10 minutes or so and then slice thinly.
3
Meanwhile, prepare the salad by combining salad greens and mix-ins in a large bowl. Pour salad dressing over and toss to coat. Divide salad among plates, top with some slices of chicken and a sprinkle of goat cheese crumbles.

Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette:
5
Whisk together pesto, vinegar and sweetener in a small bowl. Add olive oil in a small, steady stream while whisking. Continue to whisk until the dressing thickens slightly. (The pieces of sun-dried-tomato will probably sink to the bottom. That's OK.) Add salt and pepper to taste.
