By CGarnett

Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts,
• 1 tsp olive oil,
• 8 cups romaine lettuce, washed and torn into bit-sized pieces,
• 1 cucumber,
• 1 cup mushroom sliced,
• 1 cup green, red, yellow, orange peppers, sliced,
• 1 cup canned mandarin orange drained,
• 4 tsp thinly sliced almonds,
• 2 tbsp bran buds,
• salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium-high. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken on both sides until it is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the breasts. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to cool. Slice chicken breasts into strips.

Mix romaine lettuce, cucumber, mushrooms, peppers, orange slices and chicken strips together, sprinkle with almonds and bran buds and serve.
