directions

  • Pour 3 oz. blackberry vinaigrette over chicken breast and coat well. Let stand covered in refrigerator for AT LEAST 24 hours, no more that 48 hours.
  • OK, for the salad, on a hot, well seasoned char-grill, grill the marinated chicken breast and portabella as you would. Careful when turning, the marinade (dressing) has a high sugar content and will stick to the grill if not careful, but, this also caramelizes nicely for a delicious flavor. The portabella cap will only take half as long to cook as the chicken breast.
  • Set cooked chicken breast and mushroom aside on a cutting board to use in a moment.
  • The salad?: Put the mixed greens in a bowl along with tomatoes and carrots. Pour the 2 oz. of blackberry vinaigrette over the salad mix and toss until evenly coated. On your favorite large salad plate, place the tossed salad.
  • Now, slice the chicken and portabella on the bias into 5 strips. Garnish the top of your salad with them as you would be looking at fan blades.
  • On top of the center of the salad crumble the Roquefort cheese. Scatter the pecans and croutons over the salad and serve immediately.
  • Be ready for compliments!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I've been a Chef for several years. I will post only recipes I've prepared and will assume that the cook trying the recipe knows there way around a kitchen. Most recipes will be my own with some of those adapted from hand me downs. My favorite cookbooks... 1)Thrill of the Grill 2)Seasoned America. I love to cook, garden (mainly herbs and veggies,) and like it spicy!
