Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the chicken
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side for thighs, 4 to 6 minutes per side for breasts. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly, then cut the chicken crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices. While the chicken is cooking and cooling, prepare the remaining ingredients.
2
Prep the remaining ingredients
- Cut the tomatoes in half.
- Thinly slice the radishes.
- Thinly slice the mushrooms.
- Coarsely chop the almonds.
In a small bowl, stir together the honey-mustard vinaigrette base and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Assemble the spinach salad
In a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, radishes, mushrooms, almonds, and spinach with as much honey-mustard vinaigrette as you like (set aside any remaining vinaigrette for serving). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the salad to individual bowls and top with the chicken. Serve any remaining vinaigrette on the side.
