SPINACH, PEAR AND CHICKEN SALAD

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 large skinless, boneless chicken breast (about 12 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
8 cups baby spinach (about 5 ounces)
4 endives, cut lengthwise into thin wedges
1/3 cup almonds, toasted and roughly chopped
1 pear, thinly sliced
1/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese

Steps:

Slice the chicken breast in half horizontally to make 2 thin cutlets; season with salt and pepper. Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool, then thinly slice.
Meanwhile, combine the cranberries, vinegar and 1 tablespoon water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave 45 seconds to plump the cranberries. Let cool.
Whisk the cranberry-vinegar mixture, lemon juice, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a slow stream until blended. Add the chicken, spinach, endives, almonds, pear, about half of the cheese, and salt and pepper to taste; toss to combine. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining cheese.

SPINACH-PEAR SALAD

Spinach-Pear Salad image

I love spinach, and have developed quite a fondness for pears lately. This salad was posted by Bonnie Lloyd in the cookbook "June Fete Fare". Cooking time is the time it takes to toast the pecan halves.
