Balsamic marinated chicken and portobello salad with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil on crisp lettuce.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (16 ounce) bottle light balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing (such as Newman's Own® Lighten Up® Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing), divided
  • 8 chicken tenders
  • 1 (6 ounce) package sliced portobello mushroom caps
  • 2 hearts of romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced diagonally
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.25 cup sliced fresh basil leaves
Instructions:
  • Mix the chicken tenders with 1/3 of the balsamic vinaigrette in one bowl, and toss sliced mushrooms with another 1/3 of the dressing in a separate bowl. Set aside the remaining 1/3 bottle. Let the chicken and mushrooms marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler and adjust the oven rack to be 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Take out the chicken tenders and mushrooms from the marinade, allowing any extra to drip off. Broil them until the chicken is golden and cooked, for about 5 to 8 minutes. Slice the chicken tenders into bite-sized pieces after removing them from the heat.
  • Arrange a bed of chopped romaine lettuce on each of the four plates, then layer broiled chicken and mushrooms on top. Garnish each plate with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and sliced basil leaves. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette dressing over each plate before serving.
