It can be made as a single salad, or in a large bowl to serve several.

Ingredients:

Lettuce or Spinach or mixture of both.

I boneless chicken breast per person

bacon bits

dressing of choice

Instructions:

1.  Marinade the chicken breasts in Italian salad dressing for 1/2 hour.

2.  Broil or grill the chicken breasts.

3. Wash and chop the lettuce or spinach and drain.  (I usually mix for the family, all spinach if just for me)

6.  Add mandarin oranges

7. Slice the chicken into bite size pieces.  Add to the top of salad.

8.  Sprinkle salad with sliced almonds.
