Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 teaspoons all purpose seasoning (I used a spice mix I got at a specialty food store)
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups baby spinach or greens
  • 2 cups cubed watermelon
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 1/4 cup sliced or crushed almonds

Instructions

  1. Bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until it thickens and becomes syrupy.
  2. While the vinegar reduces, heat a grill or nonstick skillet to high and season the chicken with the all purpose seasoning on both sides, then drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Cook the chicken on the hot grill until it is browned on the outside and no longer pink inside, then allow it to rest for five minutes before dicing into small cubes.
  4. Arrange the baby spinach on a plate, top with the chicken pieces, watermelon cubes, blue cheese crumbles, and almonds, then drizzle with the balsamic reduction and add extra olive oil if you like.
