Cooking Steps

Make almond pralines
1
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-low.
  • When hot, add almonds, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water to the dry pan.
  • Toast, stirring often, until almonds are golden-brown and coated in caramel glaze, 3-4 min.
  • Carefully arrange almond pralines on a plate in a single layer. (NOTE: Be careful — caramel will be hot! Do not touch pralines until cool.)
  • Sprinkle a pinch of salt over top.
Cook chicken
2
  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with garlic salt and pepper.
  • When almond pralines are done, reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken.
  • Cook on one side until golden, 6-7 min. Flip, then cover and continue cooking until cooked through, 6-7 min.**
Prep and make vinaigrette
3
  • While chicken cooks, core, then cut apple into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • In a small bowl, add vinegar, blueberry jam, mustard, 1 tsp (2 tsp) water and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
  • When chicken is done, add spring mix to a large bowl.
  • Drizzle half the blueberry vinaigrette over top, then toss to coat.
Finish and serve

  • Sprinkle with almond pralines
