Chicken, Cranberry, and Goat Cheese Salad


I bought some goat cheese at the store the other day and whipped up this little salad concoction with it. It was a simple, yummy dinner. Here's the recipe if you want to try it for yourself. Enjoy!

5 oz. bag "Spring Mix" salad mix
1 cup dried cranberries
1 small Granny Smith apple, peeled and cut into small chunks
1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast (or 2 small ones), cooked and cut into chunks
garlic salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup soft, crumbled goat cheese
equal parts of olive oil and red wine vinegar or your favorite vinaigrette dressing ( I like "Brianna's real French vinaigrette" dressing)
salt and pepper to taste

1. Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a medium frying pan over med-high heat. Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place in frying pan with garlic salt and black pepper (to taste). Cook and stir until chicken pieces are cooked through. Remove chicken from pan and set aside to cool.
2. Place salad mix, cranberries, cut up apples, and crumbled goat cheese into a large salad bowl. Add chicken pieces and vinaigrette and toss to mix. Serve and enjoy!
