Baking Pecans

Bake the pecans at 325° for about 12-14 minutes. Keep an eye on them because they can burn easily! When they're done, remove the pan from the oven and let them cool completely.

Cook Balsamic Chicken

Next, add chicken breast into a pre-heated frying pan. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side. (Depending on how thick the chicken is.) To lock in moisture, cover the pan after you flip the chicken.

Preparing Apples

Then, thinly slice green apples. I like to cut the apple around the core and then slice each quarter the long way.

Helpful Tips

To prevent apples from browning, do not cut until you're ready to serve the salad. – Use fresh produce when making any salad! They will be fresh, crisp, and flavorful. – To save time, just toss chopped or shredded rotisserie chicken in a vinegarette dressing!
