Ingredients

6 Tbsp. HEINZ Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. GREY POUPON Hearty Spicy Brown Mustard
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp. roasted ground cumin
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
3/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into thin strips
1 pkg. (10 oz.) baby spinach leaves
10 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup jicama peeled, cut into short thin matchlike sticks
1/4 cup sliced radishes

Steps:

Whisk vinegar, oil, mustard, crushed pepper, cumin, paprika and black pepper until blended. Reserve half for later use. Pour remaining vinegar mixture over chicken in shallow dish; stir to evenly coat chicken. Refrigerate 2 hours to marinate, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients in large bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Drain chicken; discard marinade. Cook chicken in large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 4 to 5 min. or until done, stirring frequently. Add reserved vinegar mixture; cook and stir 1 to 2 min. or until heated through.
Spoon chicken mixture over spinach mixture; mix lightly.
