Strawberry Almond Salad with Chicken

A spinach, strawberry salad is a classic summertime salad!  This salad has a delightful blend of flavors.  I added in some almonds and a simply seasoned chicken breast to add some extra protein to this salad.  This is a quick and easy weeknight dinner that is light and refreshing!

Servings: 4
Serving Size: 1 entree salad
Points Plus: 5pp (does not include dressing)
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes 
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
Baby spinach
2 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
Kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper
2 cups strawberries
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Directions:
Wash and dry the spinach and plate out into 4 servings.  Slice each chicken breast in half (this will help to reduce the cook time) and cook in a saute pan until cooked through.  Generously season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Wash and slice the strawberries.  Top each salad with 1/2 chicken breast, sliced lengthwise, 1/4 cup of sliced strawberries and 1/8 cup of sliced almonds.  Serve with your favorite dressing!

Tip:
I didn't think of this until afterwards, but you could toast the almonds in a small pan on the stove to really bring out the almond flavor and add a little extra something to this salad.  Non- toasted almonds were delicious though too!
