Strawberry Chicken Salad with Warm Citrus Dressing

Ingredients:

4 medium skinless, boneless chicken-breast halves (about 1 pound)

1 14-1/2-ounce can chicken broth

2 1/2 cups strawberries

1/3 cup orange juice

2 tablespoons salad oil

2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 cups torn spinach, watercress and/or other greens

1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions:

1. Sprinkle the chicken-breast halves lightly with salt and pepper. Pour chicken broth into a large saucepan; add chicken. Bring broth to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. Remove chicken from broth with a slotted spoon and cool slightly.

2. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup of the strawberries, the orange juice, salad oil, lemon peel, lemon juice, sugar, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cover; blend or process until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan. Bring just to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Thinly slice chicken breasts. In a large bowl, toss together salad greens, remaining strawberries, and chicken.

4. To serve, drizzle warm dressing over salad. Sprinkle with walnuts.
