Tropical Chicken Salad

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips

2 tablespoons blackened seasoning blend

1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

1 bag (5 oz) mixed baby salad greens (4 cups)

1 medium mango, peeled, pitted and diced (1 cup)

1/2 medium red onion, sliced (3/4 cup)

1 small red bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)

2/3 cup raspberry vinaigrette

Preparation

1. Place chicken in a heavy, reusable food-storage plastic bag. Sprinkle seasoning blend over chicken. Seal bag and shake until chicken is evenly coated.
2. In a 10-inch, nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 7 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently until no longer pink in center. Remove chicken from skillet and drain on paper towels.
3. In a large bowl, toss salad greens, mango, onion and bell pepper. Divide among 4 plates. Top with chicken and drizzle with vinaigrette.

Serve with a crusty roll and a glass of milk (or Chardonnay wine).
