SWEET AND SPICY HONEY-GLAZED GRILLED CHICKEN WITH SPINACH SALAD AND PANTRY DRESSING

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat a grill or oven to 450 degrees F. If using a gas grill, set to medium-high heat on one side and low on the other side. If using a charcoal grill, bank hot coals on one side of the grill.
• Brush the chicken with the oil and season with the spice mix and a liberal amount of salt and pepper. Put the chicken on the hot side of the grill bone-side down, close the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the honey, mustard and soy sauce in a small bowl.
• Flip the chicken, brush with the glaze and grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Move the chicken to the cool side of the grill bone-side down and apply the remaining glaze. Close the lid, open the vents halfway if using a charcoal grill and continue to cook until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 15 to 20 minutes longer. If using the oven, place the chicken bone-side down on a baking sheet and roast, brushing with the glaze occasionally, until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the spinach salad: In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, chickpeas and onions in a large bowl; set aside.
• Put a heavy-bottomed skillet on the hot side of the grill, add the bacon and cook until crisp.
• Add the vinegar, mustard, and honey to an almost-empty ketchup container and shake vigorously (or whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey and ketchup in a small bowl). Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the ketchup mixture to make a warm dressing.
• Pour the dressing over the greens and toss together. Transfer the greens to a platter and top with the chicken.

GRILLED HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN WITH ONIONS AND SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. In a small bowl, stir together mustard and 2 tablespoons honey. Reserve 2 tablespoons honey mustard for tomorrow's lunch. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill until browned and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes, flipping once. Brush with half the remaining honey mustard and cook 1 minute. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Cut 2 chicken breasts into thin slices and transfer to a serving platter. Reserve 2 chicken breasts for a future meal.
• Brush onions with vegetable oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill until browned and tender, 7 to 9 minutes, flipping once. Brush onions with remaining honey mustard and cook 1 minute. Reserve 1/2 cup onions for a future meal and transfer remaining onions to serving platter.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 teaspoon honey, vinegar, and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Add spinach and tomatoes and toss to combine. Serve salad alongside sliced chicken and onions.

SPINACH CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Blanch spinach: Bring water to a boil and add spinach. Boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until spinach is bright green. Drain water from spinach and submerge spinach into a bowl of ice cold water for a few minutes. Strain spinach and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. It helps to press spinach against a sieve or use paper towels to squeeze out the water. The result is a ball of spinach that can fit into the palm of your hand. Chop spinach.
• 2. Pour cubed chicken into a food processor and pulse 5 to 6 times to chop.
• 3. Combine spinach and Knorr soup mix in a large mixing bowl. Mix well with clean hands. Be sure there is no visible soup mix powder. Any soup mix powder should be completely absorbed by the spinach.
• 4. Add the chopped chicken and mayonnaise to the spinach mixture and mix thoroughly.
• 5. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. The chicken salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
