Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Preheat oven to 375.

  2. In a small bowl combine dressing and basil, wisk. Cover and allow to sit on the counter to combine flavors. Ken's Steakhouse makes a Balsamic and Basil dressing that also works great! If you choose that route omit this step.

  3. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Add the chicken breast and toss to completely coat.

  4. Grill over medium heat until cooked through.

  5. Remove from the heat and tent with foil. Allow chicken to rest while putting the remaining salad together.

  6. In a shallow pan combine the almonds and coconut. Pop this in the oven and toast until golden brown. Stirring frequently so as not to burn the coconut and to get an even browning. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

  7. In the meantime combine the romaine and the spring mix. Divide evenly amoung 4 large salad bowls, I use my pasta bowls for this.

  8. Cube the chicken into bite size pieces, or for presentation purposes you could cut it on the bias. Divide the chicken amoung the 4 bowls.

  9. Next layer: cranberries, strawberries then oranges. Sprinkle liberally with the almond and coconut mixure.

  10. Drizzle with the dressing right before serving.

  11. Served with a nice crusty bread just finishes it off. Enjoy!
