Chicken, Apple, And Smoked-Gouda Salad

• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 pound skinned, boned chicken breast
• Cooking spray
• 8 cups torn prepackaged spinach
• 3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
• 1/2 cup sliced red onion, separated into rings
• 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced Red Delicious apple (about 1/2 pound)
• 3/4 cup fat-free honey mustard salad dressing
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded smoked Gouda or Jarlsberg cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

1. Preheat broiler. Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken. Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 5 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Cut chicken into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
2. Combine chicken, spinach, bell pepper, celery, onion, and apple in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over salad, and toss well. Sprinkle with cheese and almonds.
3. Note: Substitute ready-to-eat roasted skinned, boned chicken breast (such as Tyson) for cooked chicken, if desired.
