Blackberry Chicken Salad Recipe

Name: Blackberry Chicken Salad
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 6 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts; 3 ounces blackberry vinaigrette (for marinade, see Blackberry Vinaigrette); 1 portabella mushroom (1 cap); 2 cups mesulin mixed greens; 2 ounces blackberry vinaigrette; 2 ounces Roquefort cheese; 2 ounces candied pecans; 2 ounces tomatoes (julienned, no seeds); 1 ounce carrot (shredded); 2 ounces croutons

1
Pour 3 oz. blackberry vinaigrette over chicken breast and coat well. Let stand covered in refrigerator for AT LEAST 24 hours, no more that 48 hours.
2
OK, for the salad, on a hot, well seasoned char-grill, grill the marinated chicken breast and portabella as you would. Careful when turning, the marinade (dressing) has a high sugar content and will stick to the grill if not careful, but, this also caramelizes nicely for a delicious flavor. The portabella cap will only take half as long to cook as the chicken breast.
3
Set cooked chicken breast and mushroom aside on a cutting board to use in a moment.
4
The salad?: Put the mixed greens in a bowl along with tomatoes and carrots. Pour the 2 oz. of blackberry vinaigrette over the salad mix and toss until evenly coated. On your favorite large salad plate, place the tossed salad.
5
Now, slice the chicken and portabella on the bias into 5 strips. Garnish the top of your salad with them as you would be looking at fan blades.
6
On top of the center of the salad crumble the Roquefort cheese. Scatter the pecans and croutons over the salad and serve immediately.
7
Be ready for compliments!
