Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil or safflower oil
1 tablespoon sugar
3 large apples (Gala, Honeycrisp or your favorite variety)
2 boneless skinless chicken breast (about 12 ounces)
5 ounces mixed baby greens
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 cup raisins
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Pinch of coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
1/2 cup safflower oil
2 ounces hard, salty cheese such as Parmigiano-Reggiano, Manchego, or Pecorino, shaved

1
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Core the apples and slice them into 1/4-inch wedges. Brush both sides of the apple pieces with a bit of oil. Sprinkle each piece with a pinch of sugar. Brush the chicken with oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2
Put the apples and chicken on clean, well oiled grill grates. Grill the apple pieces 2 minutes per side, until grill marks form. Remove from grill and set aside. Continue grilling the chicken until cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before slicing into 1/4-inch pieces.
3
While the chicken cooks, prepare the vinaigrette. Whisk the mustard, salt, pepper, maple syrup and cider vinegar together until combined. Add the oil in a slow steady stream, whisking briskly to form an emulsion.
4
Toss the almonds and raisins with the mixed greens. Top with apples, chicken and shaved cheese. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve immediately.
