Almond Chicken Salad


This is a salad that I made up trying to make a very quick dinner.

Ingredients:
3 leaves of Bib Lettuce, cut up
1 handful of Mangold leaves (other names: Chard, Leaf Beet, Spinach Beet, and Swiss Chard)
10 Rocket leaves (other names: Ruccola, Arugula, and Roquette)
1 hand ful of Field Greens
1/2 a small head of Raddicio, shredded (Raddicio looks like a small, purple, ice berg lettuce)
1/4 cup of Slices and Pickled Red Bell Peppers
a few small green Spanish Olives
1/8 Cup of Almond slivers
1 chicken breast
Your favorit dressing (mine is Cucumber Ranch)
Sea Salt, freshly ground

Directions:
Wash all fresh greens/vegetables, dry, and arange on a plate. In the mean while, in a grill-pan*, grill 1 chicken breast seasoning only with freshly ground sea salt. Cook the chicken breast until done, turning occasionally. Remove from heat when done and let cool. In a small skillet, roast the almond slivers until they get a little toasty brown, but don't burn. Continue making the salad, adding all other ingredients to the top of the greens. Cut the chicken breat into strips once it has cooled and add to the top of the salad. Then, top off with the toasted almond slivers. Top off with your favorit salad dressing.

*A grill-pan in a pan that has ribs in it so that one can grill indoors on the stove top. I got mine at IKEA for about €12 and it works very well.
