Mom invented this colorful salad by combining romaine lettuce with toasted pecans, chicken strips, grapes, dried cranberries and cheddar cheese. I think she's particularly proud of this recipe. -Kevin Weeks North Palm Beach, Florida

Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup vegetable oil
7 cups torn romaine
1 cup seedless red grapes
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup Vidalia onion or honey mustard salad dressing

Directions

Pour butter into a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; stir in pecans and salt. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes, stirring twice. Set aside.
Place flour in a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. In an electric skillet, heat oil to 375°. Fry chicken in batches for 2-3 minutes or until no longer pink, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine, grapes, cranberries and cheese. Add chicken and reserved nuts; toss to combine. Serve with dressing. Yield: 12 servings (3/4 cup each).
