Grilled Blackberry Pomegranate Glazed Chicken Salad

Submitted by: COPPERHEAD71
Grilled Blackberry Pomegranate Glazed Chicken Salad

Introduction

This is one of my favorite farmer's market salads. The delicious combination of fresh blackberries, pomegranate juice, fennel and crumbled goat cheese -- just to name a few key ingredients -- packs a powerful punch of good-for-you flavor. Enjoy it with some warm, crusty artisan bread and a glass of chilled rose wine in the company of good friends and you have the perfect light summer meal.

Ingredients

    1/2 cup unsweetened 100% pomegranate juice
    1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
    1 tbsp honey
    1 clove garlic
    1 tsp minced fresh ginger root
    1/8 tsp red chili pepper flakes
    8 boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloins
    8 large leaves butter lettuce chopped (about 5 cups chopped)
    1/4 cup raw slivered almonds
    1 fennel bulb chopped
    1 ear of corn cooked, cooled, and kernels cut off (or 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels thawed)
    1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
    1 cup fresh blackberries

Directions

In a small saucepan, whisk together the pomegranate juice, vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and red chili pepper flakes. Bring to a boil then reduce to medium-low and let cook for about 15-20 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.

Put the chicken breast tenderloins in a ziploc bag and add 2 tbsp of the sauce. Set the rest of the sauce aside and let cool. Let the chicken sit in the glaze for about 5 minutes.

Toast the almonds in a small skillet until just brown, set aside and let cool.

Grill the chicken on a barbecue or indoor grill about 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Set aside and let cool just slightly.

Add the blackberries to the remaining sauce, crushing slightly with the back of a fork to release the juices. This will be your dressing.

Put the lettuce in a salad bowl. Top with the fennel, corn, goat cheese and almonds. Lay the grilled chicken across the top of the salad (2 tenderloins/person). Drizzle the blackberry dressing over the top and serve immediately.
