  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1/4 cup blackened seasoning blend
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 cups bite-size pieces mixed salad greens
  • 3 cups peeled and diced fresh peaches
  • 1 cup sliced red onion
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 1/3 cups fruit-flavored vinaigrette

Steps

  • 1
    Place chicken in heavy-duty resealable plastic food-storage bag. Sprinkle seasoning blend over chicken; seal bag and shake until chicken is evenly coated.
  • 2
    Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 10 to 12 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink in center. Remove chicken from skillet; drain on paper towels.
  • 3
    Toss salad greens, peaches, onion and bell pepper in large bowl; divide evenly among 8 plates. Top with chicken. Drizzle with vinaigrette.

  • Use cooking spray instead of oil and fat-free vinaigrette instead of regular to slash fat in this flavorful chicken salad.
  • Add a little more taste of the Tropics! Look for mango or papaya in your grocery store, and use for the peach.
