- Place the saute pan on medium-high heat and add 2-3 teaspoons of oil. Preheat for 2 minutes. Gently place the citrus-marinated chicken in the pan and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the breast. It is recommended that the chicken be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 F. Remove the chicken to the cutting board.
- While the chicken is cooking, wash and slice the gala apple.
- Lastly, prepare the salad. Place the spring mix in a medium bowl with half of the apple cider vinaigrette. Mix well, then taste and add more dressing as needed. Slice the cooked citrus chicken breast into 4-6 strips.
- Divide the salad between two shallow bowls or dinner plates. Top the dressed greens with dried cranberries, goat cheese, candied walnuts, sliced apples, and sliced chicken.
