Ingredients

1/3: cup raspberry vinegar

2: tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/4: cup water

1: envelope (0.7 ounce) Italian dressing mix

1: tablespoon olive or vegetable oil

4: boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds)

6: cups bite-size pieces mixed salad greens

2: plum (Roma) tomatoes, chopped (2/3 cup)

Directions

1 In medium bowl, mix vinegars and water. Stir in dressing mix. Stir in oil. Divide dressing mixture in half.
2 Place chicken in shallow glass or plastic dish or heavy-duty resealable plastic food-storage bag. Pour half of the dressing mixture over chicken; turn chicken to coat. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate remaining dressing mixture.

Cover and grill chicken over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, turning and brushing with marinade occasionally, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F). Discard any remaining marinade.

Expert Tips

Vegetables offer a host of nutrients including vitamins A, C and folate to name a few. Be sure to get at least 3 to 5 servings of veggies daily.

No time to grill? Cut the chicken into slices, marinate as directed, then drain and discard marinade. Cook in a skillet over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until no longer pink in center.

Though I didn't follow this recipe to a T, I still think it's a winner. I added other veggies to the salad as well as chick peas. The dressing/marinade was wonderful and the chicken was moist. Everyone loved it and has been asking when we would have it again.
