Ingredients
  • 4 servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cooked wild rice
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup low-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 cups mixed salad greens
Directions
  1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the salt. Cook, turning occasionally, for about 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned and thoroughly cooked. Transfer chicken to plate to cool.
  2. Meanwhile, in a separate medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes or until caramelized. Add garlic; stir for about 1 minute. Transfer to plate to cool.
  3. Stir together rice, onions and garlic, cranberries, mayonnaise, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in medium bowl.
  4. Cut cooked chicken into 1-inch strips.
  5. To assemble salads, spread a layer of greens on 4 salad plates. Top with rice mixture; arrange chicken strips over the top.
Tips
Before preparing this recipe, cook the wild rice according to package instructions. Two-thirds cup uncooked rice will yield 2 cups cooked. Accompany the salads with crusty rolls and strips of Cheddar cheese.
Substitutions/Variations
1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic may be used in place of freshly minced garlic. If you prefer, grill the chicken.
