Categories     Salad     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 29

For the Chicken
½ pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon paprika
½ tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried parsley
For the Salad
1 cup butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1 cup red beets, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
⅛ teaspoon sea salt
5 cups romaine lettuce
1 cup arugula
2 medjool dates pitted and chopped
1 avocado, cubed
1 carrot, shaved
2 tablespoons toasted almonds
2 tablespoons dried, unsweetened cranberries
¼ cup Champagne Vinaigrette (recipe to follow)
For the Champagne Vinaigrette
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
⅛ cup champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Pinch of salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Place all of the chicken ingredients in a ziploc bag or glass dish and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake the chicken for 20 minutes, flipping once, until it's cooked thru. Let cool while you prepare the remainder of the salad. This can also be done the day before and stored in the refrigerator. Toss the beets and butternut squash in the olive oil and sea salt, then roast at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes until tender. Remove from oven, then let cool. Toss together the butternut squash, beets, lettuce, dates, avocado, carrot, almonds, and cranberries. Slice the chicken and place it on top, then drizzle with Champagne Vinaigrette. Champagne Vinaigrette In a blender (I actually used a blender bottle!), mix together 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, ⅛ cup champagne vinegar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. With the blender running, drizzle in ½ cup olive oil.

I'm not a big fan of chicken salad, but this one is really good. The dressing is tangy and flavorful, and the chicken is tender and juicy.

I love the crunch of the almonds and the sweetness of the grapes. It adds a nice contrast to the chicken.
