How To Make black and blue salad

Step 1

Add all of the dressing ingredients to a jar with a lid and shake well to combine. Store in the fridge until you are ready to dress your salads.

Step 2

Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Place in between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound out until uniform thickness, about 1/2 inch. Coat breasts with Cajun seasoning- I used Bobby Webb's Cajun spice mix- check out his recipe here on JAP. Spray pan with cooking spray- I like Pompeians 100% Grapeseed Oil spray- it's all natural, low-cal, and has a high smoke point. Heat pan over medium to medium-high heat. Cook breasts about 3-4 minutes each side, or until no longer pink. Transfer to a plate and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Step 3

While the chicken is resting, get your salads assembled. Cut breasts into bite-size pieces, and place on salads. Shake dressing and use a spoon to drizzle over salads. You can garnish with some chopped green onions or chives if you like. Enjoy!
