How do you make grilled chicken?

Add chicken breasts to a large zip baggie. Drizzle in oil, the juice of one lemon, salt (or garlic salt) and pepper. Let marinate for about 30 minutes. Preheat your grill. Grill chicken on both sides until cooked through. Slice and add to salad.

Drizzle the chilled dressing on top of your grilled chicken and spinach salad. Toss to combine. Grab a hunk of bread and a chilled glass of white wine, and enjoy!
