Balsamic Chicken and Strawberry Salad

July 7, 2012 By Karen Ficarelli

Chicken is such a versatile meat that you can serve it several times in a week without cooking the same thing over and over. This recipe is great for lunch or dinner. After trying a version of this salad at a restaurant, I went home and created my own low fat version.

Package of romaine
1 package of fresh strawberries
1 cup of celery
4 chicken breasts
Nonstick cooking spray
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
3/4 teaspoon walnuts

Directions:

1. In a large bowl toss together romaine, strawberries and celery set aside.
2. Over medium heat spray Pam and cook chicken about 4 min turning once half way remove from heat when cooked through.
3. Keep warm.
4. For dressing add oil to skillet, cook and stir garlic in hot oil, stir in honey, vinegar, salt & pepper (optional).
5. Cook through, keep warm.
6. To serve arrange romaine mixture on 4 plates, top with chicken, drizzle dressing and sprinkle with nuts, add a plain sweet potato for a perfect pairing.

Health Benefits:
High in protein and low in fat, chicken is an excellent choice for a main dish. Strawberries are rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, a beautiful fruit that helps to aid in digestion. Celery adds flavor and antioxidants with few calories. Walnuts are a good source of protein, adds a nice crunch to a salad and a great topping substitute to croutons.
