Grilled Chicken Spinach Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, stir together fruit spread, vinegar and oil; reserve 1/3 cup for glaze. Set remaining mixture aside.
• Carefully brush grill rack with oil. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Brush chicken with reserved glaze. Cover grill; cook 5 minutes. Turn chicken over; brush with glaze. Cover grill; cook 3 to 7 minutes longer, brushing occasionally with glaze, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).
• Meanwhile, on 4 individual dinner plates, arrange spinach, raspberries, onion and almonds. Cut each grilled chicken breast into slices; place on top of salads. Drizzle with remaining fruit spread mixture.

Steps:

• Heat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat to preheat.
• Season both sides of chicken with salt, black pepper, and garlic and herb seasoning. Add chicken to hot pan and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat. Place 1 to 2 slices of Brie on top of chicken, cover with foil and place back on grill pan for another 1 minute, until cheese melts.
• Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and chopped shallots to the pan and saute. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, honey and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Pour the warm vinaigrette over the spinach and toss to coat. Crumble the bacon strips over the dressed salad.
• Transfer chicken to a serving plate or plate with spinach salad.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill or grill pan. Carefully oil the grill or grill pan with a cloth dipped in a little olive oil. If using a grill, have the grilling surface 8 to 10 inches above the embers. Regulate the amount of coals under the grill so that it maintains a consistent medium-hot heat (the oil on the grill will begin to smoke).
• Prepare the chicken. Coat each chicken breast with the extra-virgin olive oil. Season each side evenly with a little salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, skin side first, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn over and continue to cook in the same manner another 4 or 5 minutes until the meat is slightly firm to the touch. Season 1 side evenly with the roasted garlic rub. Remove from the heat and reserve until cool. Cut the chicken with the grain into bite-size pieces. Reserve.
• Divide the dough into 6 balls. Working on a surface free of flour, roll each ball under your palm. As it rolls, it will stick slightly to the surface, creating tension that helps form a tight, round ball. Dust the work surface with flour, pat each ball down lightly, dust the tops with flour, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 15 minutes.
• With a rolling pin, roll each ball into a circle 8 or 9-inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick and place on a cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal (to keep the dough from sticking).
• On a clean grill surface (use a wire brush then oil again as before) gently lay the piadine on the grill and cook until the bottom has set and is cooked, but not so well done that it is not pliable, about 4 minutes. Turn the crust and cook on the second side. The cooking time will vary with the heat of the grill. Remove crusts.
• Meanwhile, toss together the spinach, mozzarella, tomato wedges, red onion, Parmesan and chicken. Toss with vinaigrette to coat the greens and taste for seasoning with salt and pepper. Place the crusts on plates and divide the salad among them. Serve "open face." Diners should fold their piadine in half and eat without utensils!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Coarsely grate the cheese. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cheese on the mat to make a thin disk, about 2 inches wide. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the disks evenly on the pan to make 8 fricos. Bake rotating the pan once during baking, until the cheese melts together and is just golden, about 12 minutes. Cool fricos on the pan.
• Position a rack 6 inches from the broiler and preheat.
• Slice the mushrooms as thin as possible. Toss with the lemon juice and season with the salt and pepper, to taste.
• Brush the chicken breast with olive oil and mustard. Season with the salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a flameproof gratin or casserole dish and broil, turning as needed until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the breasts registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate, reserve the pan. Add the broth to the pan, and stir with a wooden spoon to release the brown bits that cling to the pan. Reserve the pan drippings.
• Whisk the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, to taste, in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, and the pan drippings starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a dressing.
• Slice the chicken. Toss the spinach and mushrooms with the dressing and divide among 4 plates. Scatter the chicken over the salads, top with the fricos and serve.

Steps:

• Place chicken on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. x 15 in.). Combine broth and 1 tablespoon poppy seed dressing; spoon over chicken. Fold edges of foil around chicken mixture, leaving center open. Grill, covered, over medium heat until chicken is no longer pink, 10-12 minutes., In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, romaine and strawberries. Add the chicken and remaining poppy seed dressing; toss to coat. Sprinkle with almonds.

Steps:

• 1. Toss all ingredients except dressing in large bowl. Serve with dressing, 6 servings,
• 2. * Substitute grilled shrimp for chicken if you'd like.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat a grill or oven to 450 degrees F. If using a gas grill, set to medium-high heat on one side and low on the other side. If using a charcoal grill, bank hot coals on one side of the grill.
• Brush the chicken with the oil and season with the spice mix and a liberal amount of salt and pepper. Put the chicken on the hot side of the grill bone-side down, close the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the honey, mustard and soy sauce in a small bowl.
• Flip the chicken, brush with the glaze and grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Move the chicken to the cool side of the grill bone-side down and apply the remaining glaze. Close the lid, open the vents halfway if using a charcoal grill and continue to cook until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 15 to 20 minutes longer. If using the oven, place the chicken bone-side down on a baking sheet and roast, brushing with the glaze occasionally, until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the spinach salad: In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, chickpeas and onions in a large bowl; set aside.
• Put a heavy-bottomed skillet on the hot side of the grill, add the bacon and cook until crisp.
• Add the vinegar, mustard, and honey to an almost-empty ketchup container and shake vigorously (or whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey and ketchup in a small bowl). Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the ketchup mixture to make a warm dressing.
• Pour the dressing over the greens and toss together. Transfer the greens to a platter and top with the chicken.

Steps:

• In a jar or container with cover combine the dressing ingredients and shake well. Refrigerate to chill until ready to serve.
• Wash fruit and veggies and dry completely. Dressing will not adhere if greens are wet.
• Combine the spinach, blueberries, onion, sunflower kernels, nuts and raisins in a large bowl.
• Slice chicken into strips and place on top of greens.
• Pour chilled dressing over salad and gently toss.
