Here is another quick and easy delicious salad from Pampered Chef 29 minute dinners. The dressing was a bit different from that you buy at the grocery store. I thought this was really good. but I'm going to be honest and tell you what Philly said. "This is edible, but not blog worthy." When have I ever listened to Philly???? So I'm blogging about it.
I added goat cheese because I like a little cheese with my salads. Goat cheese is good on anything as far as I'm concerned. I used craisons instead of apple slices. If you use the sliced apple, remember to soak them in lemon juice so they won't brown. The apple would give some extra crunch, but I needed some more. I added some almonds. Not just any almonds, these were some extras I had made up for Christmas. They were homemade sugared almonds. (Put about 1/2 cup slivered almonds and 3 T sugar in a skillet and heat. Keep stirring as not to burn). I think cashews would be the best. This recipe makes a lot of dressing and it is sweet.
Glazed Chicken with Apple Salad
Dressing
2 T cider vinegar
2 T apple jelly (I used apple butter because I had it)
1/2 c. low Fat mayonnaise
Mix together and reserve
Salad
1 granny smith apple
1 red apple (ex mackintosh)
watercress or mixed lettuces
Slice the apples. Soak in lemon juice if you don't want them to brown. Combine them with the salad
Chicken-
2 boneless/skinless breasts
1 T olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tsp apple jelly
1 tsp ground mustard
1 T brown sugar
Heat a grill pan. flatten the breast to an even layer approx. 1/4 inch thick. Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper. cook thoroughly on both sides. the last minute of cooking, brush with the glaze. Watch it because the sugars in the glaze will burn. I flipped the chicken to cook the glaze and liked that flavor.
Serve the chicken over the salad mixture.
