A chicken summertime salad is so juicy from the fruits you can skip the dressing. Made with grilled chicken breasts, this recipe is Weight Watchers FreeStyle friendly and has only 3 SmartPoints. If you skip the slivered almonds, it's a zero point meal.

With the protein from chicken and the fruits and veggies, you can make this your whole meal. Pair it with your favorite soup to make it a combo meal.

If you prefer to put some creamy flavor on top, try this creamy garlic dressing made with plain non-fat yogurt.

The great thing about summertime salads is there are so many fresh fruits available. So if strawberries or tangerines aren't your thing, swap them out for your favorites.

Recipe Type:

Chicken, Salad, Side, Appetizer

Degree of Difficulty:

Easy

Ingredients

  • 3 each chicken breast halves boneless, skinless
  • 9 oz Romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1 cup tangerines (mandarin oranges)
  • 1 cup Strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup almonds, slivered
  • 1/4 cup Lawry's Herb & Garlic marinade

Directions

  1. Place chicken breasts in a container. Pour marinade on top and cover.
  2. Place in refrigerator for at least one hour (I like to marinade over night as it makes chicken really tender).
  3. Fire up the grill (or broiler). Place chicken on grill and discard excess marinade.
  4. Cook chicken breasts for approximately 5 - 10 minutes on each side (or until chicken is no longer pink).
  5. Let chicken cool for about 15 minutes.
  6. Cut chicken breasts into 1/2 thick slices.
  7. Place leafy lettuce on the dinner plates.
  8. Arrange chicken strips, tangerines and strawberries on top.
  9. Sprinkle on the almond slivers.
  10. Serve with your favorite dressing on the side.

Tips

If you want to make this a zero SmartPoints recipe, just eliminate the slivered almonds. I personally like almonds so am willing to use the 3 points.

Here's another grilled chicken salad that uses BBQ chicken and kiwi...I'm trying this one next.
