STRAWBERRY CHICKEN SALAD
Holly from LIFE IN THE LOFTHOUSE is sharing her favorite Strawberry Chicken Salad recipe that she has been making for years. I I love this salad mainly because of the amazing raspberry poppy seed vinaigrette. It seems so simple but trust me – the taste is outta this world! This is a great recipe for any leftover grilled chicken you may have. Or, to make it even faster to prepare, just pick up a rotisserie chicken instead!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp fresh black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp fresh black pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
6-8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 cup poppyseed dressing
1/2 cup light raspberry vinaigrette
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 cup poppyseed dressing
1/2 cup light raspberry vinaigrette
HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY CHICKEN SALAD:
Combine salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl. Start by brushing oil on chicken breasts and then season with the salt, pepper and garlic powder seasoning.
Grill chicken on your barbecue or indoor grill pan. Grill for 5 minutes on each side, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Set aside.
On two plates, add the romaine lettuce, sliced strawberries and almonds. Slice your grilled chicken and place on top.
Mix together the poppyseed dressing and raspberry vinaigrette together. Pour over the salad and dig in!
Enjoy!

Wonderful salad..I added some glazed pecans and bacon to this salad to kick it up a notch. :o)
Really, 1 1/2 CUPS of dressing. I am surprised no one has commented on that is so much for a 2 person serving. Did I miss something, if so I appologise.
