Raspberry Chicken Salad

Name: Raspberry Chicken Salad
Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 1 cup 100% raspberry spreadable fruit; 1/3 cup raspberry vinegar; 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each); 8 cups torn mixed salad greens; 1 small red onion, thinly sliced; 24 fresh raspberries

"This pretty summer salad is a snap to make, but it looks as though you fussed," writes Sue Zimonick of Green Bay, Wisconsin. The slightly tart dressing also serves as a basting sauce, which gives the thin slices of tender chicken breast a nice fruit flavor.

Ingredients

1 cup 100% raspberry spreadable fruit
1/3 cup raspberry vinegar
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
8 cups torn mixed salad greens
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
24 fresh raspberries

Directions

In a small bowl, combine spreadable fruit and vinegar; set aside 3/4 cup for dressing. Broil chicken 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°, basting occasionally with remaining raspberry mixture. Cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, arrange greens and onion on salad plates. Slice chicken; place over greens. Drizzle with reserved dressing. Garnish with raspberries.

This has been our favorite summer chicken salad for years! It's so quick and simple. I like to add some feta cheese and chopped peacans to the salad too. If I don't happen to have raspberry vinegar on hand I use white wine vinegar.
