This Summer Berry Chicken Salad is actually a copy cat recipe from Wendy's.They only sell this for a limited time in the summer. It's absolutely delicious and rather patriotic looking. Herb-marinated grilled chicken breast topped with sweet, hand-cut strawberries and blueberries, roasted almonds, crumbly feta cheese, and tangy-sweet Raspberry Vinaigrette on a bed of spring lettuce mix. It’s bursting with fresh, summery flavors. You can easily make it at home.

Raspberry Vinaigrette

½ cup raspberries fresh or frozen

¼ cup red wine vinegar

2 - 3 tablespoons honey

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup olive oil

Directions

1Season chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place a small skillet over medium heat. Add vegetable oil to the skillet. Allow the pan to get hot, the oil should almost smoke, add the chicken. Cook chicken on each side for 5 to 7 minutes or until the chicken is done. Remove chicken from skillet. Allow the chicken to rest about 5 minutes before slicing into bite sized pieces.

2In a large bowl add salad, blackberries, sliced strawberries, feta cheese, and apple chips. Add cut up pieces of chicken to the salad. Pour over raspberry vinaigrette as you desire.

Raspberry Vinaigrette

1In a blender or food processor combine raspberries, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, and basil. Process until well combined.  

2With the food processor still running, drizzle in the oil until the salad dressing comes together and emulsifies. Allow flavors to blend at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.  

3Store fresh-made vinaigrette in a covered container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Whisk before serving.
