This recipe will be the talk of your table!! You can also omit the chicken and serve as a neat appetizer salad. This recipe is for a single salad but I've made it for groups of 50+ on a large platter. The Recipe #248490 is available here on RecipeZaar.

Time P1DT15m

Yield 1 salad, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 ounces blackberry vinaigrette (for marinade, see Blackberry Vinaigrette)
1 portabella mushroom (1 cap)
2 cups mesulin mixed greens
2 ounces blackberry vinaigrette
2 ounces Roquefort cheese
2 ounces candied pecans
2 ounces tomatoes (julienned, no seeds)
1 ounce carrot (shredded)
2 ounces croutons

Steps:

  • Pour 3 oz. blackberry vinaigrette over chicken breast and coat well. Let stand covered in refrigerator for AT LEAST 24 hours, no more that 48 hours.
  • OK, for the salad, on a hot, well seasoned char-grill, grill the marinated chicken breast and portabella as you would. Careful when turning, the marinade (dressing) has a high sugar content and will stick to the grill if not careful, but, this also caramelizes nicely for a delicious flavor. The portabella cap will only take half as long to cook as the chicken breast.
  • Set cooked chicken breast and mushroom aside on a cutting board to use in a moment.
  • The salad?: Put the mixed greens in a bowl along with tomatoes and carrots. Pour the 2 oz. of blackberry vinaigrette over the salad mix and toss until evenly coated. On your favorite large salad plate, place the tossed salad.
  • Now, slice the chicken and portabella on the bias into 5 strips. Garnish the top of your salad with them as you would be looking at fan blades.
  • On top of the center of the salad crumble the Roquefort cheese. Scatter the pecans and croutons over the salad and serve immediately.
  • Be ready for compliments!
