Blue Cheese-Chicken Salad

• Vinaigrette:
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 minced shallots
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salad:
• 2 (5-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• Cooking spray
• 1 (10-ounce) package fresh spinach
• 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1/2 cup dried sweet cherries

1. Whisk vinaigrette ingredients together, and set aside.
2. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; with a meat mallet, pound to 1/4-inch thickness.
3. Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; coat with cooking spray. Add chicken to skillet, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until the chicken is brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet, and chop into bite-size pieces; keep warm.
4. Toss spinach, blue cheese, and cherries in large salad bowl. Whisk vinaigrette and drizzle over salad. Top salad with chicken, and serve.
