BERRY CHICKEN SALAD

1 package of thin cut chicken breast
1 bottle of Lawry’s Sesame Ginger marinade
1 bottle of Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette dressing (Ken’s)
1 carton strawberries
1 big box raisins
1 bottle sunflower seeds
1 container of LaChoy chow mien noodles
Lettuce (may use romaine or iceberg)

I came up with this concoction for my wife and she absolutely loved it. Now I get asked to make it often. This is agreat summer salad and unfortunately in Florida, its summer year round. We have two seasons in Florida, hot and hotter.

Start by marinating the chicken in the Sesame Ginger marinade; use about half of the bottle. Don’t forget to poke the chicken with a fork about 6 times per side so that flavor can get into the meat. Let it sit for about a half hour refrigerated.

Cut and stem all the strawberries and place them in a Tupperware bowl with a little sprinkle of sugar in it, place in refrigerator…. this can be done ahead of time as well.

Place the chicken in a skillet with some of the marinade along with it. Cook chicken in marinade until chicken is done. I usually go about 10 minutes…5 minutes per side on a medium heat. Remember this is thin packaged chicken…but still…make sure chicken is done. If anything go longer instead of shorter.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare individual bowls of lettuce and place raisins, strawberries, sunflower seeds, and chow mien noodles on top.

After chicken is cooked, thinly slice one piece per bowl, sometimes two depending on the size. Lay the chicken over the top of the rest of the salad and goodies.

Cover with Kens Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette. Enjoy!
