Serves 4

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast

1/3 cup Cranberry Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

Trim any cartilage. Butterfly cut lengthwise to create 2 thin cutlets from each half-breast. Place the fillet between 2 sheets of parchment paper and pound lightly with a mallot or edge of a plate.

Place the chicken and salad dressing in a plastic bag to marinade. Mix to coat the chicken. Set aside for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the fridge.

1 apple

2 cucumbers

1 orange bell pepper

Fresh spinach

Fresh arugula

Sliced almonds

Sunflower seeds

Dried cranberries

Cranberry Sauce

Wash and chop the vegetables. Arrange the ingredients in separate bowls.

2 T olive oil

You may grill the chicken over low fire or sauté as follows: Pour the oil in a large sauté pan. Add the chicken fillets and cook over low heat, turning after 5 minutes. Cook just until the inside is turning white. Remove from the pan and slice diagonally into ½” slices.

1 lb frozen shelled edamame

Add the edamame into the pan. Cook over medium heat until the beans are warm throughout.

Cranberry Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

Serve the chicken and edamame warm or at room temperature.

Arrange all the ingredients and vinaigrette salad bar style to allow everyone to personalize their salad.





If you have leftover Turkey, cube it up and warm it in the pan with some of the vinaigrette instead of chicken.
