GRILLED ORANGE VINAGRETTE CHICKEN SALAD

GRILLED ORANGE VINAGRETTE CHICKEN SALAD

½ cup orange juice
½ cup white wine vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
4 Tbsp. salt-free garlic and herb seasoning blend
1-1/2 Tbsp. white sugar
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 head romaine lettuce-rinsed dried and chopped
1 (11-oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup chopped fresh broccoli
1 cup chopped baby carrots

Pre heat grill for medium-high heat.

In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, vinegar, olive oil, seasoning blend, and sugar. Set aside about ½ cup for basting

Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, basting frequently with the reserved portion of the dressing, or until juice runs clear. Cool, and cut into stripes. Discard basting sauce.

In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, oranges, broccoli, and carrots. Top the salad with grilled chicken strips, and drizzle with remaining dressing to serve.

Yield: 6 servings.
