Dinner 60 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) bottle light balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing (such as Newman's Own® Lighten Up® Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing), divided
  • 8 chicken tenders
  • 1 (6 ounce) package sliced portobello mushroom caps
  • 2 hearts of romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced diagonally
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup sliced fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  • Combine 1/3 bottle of balsamic vinaigrette dressing with the chicken tenders in a bowl. Toss together sliced mushrooms with 1/3 bottle of dressing in a separate bowl. Reserve the remaining 1/3 bottle. Allow the chicken tenders and mushrooms to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Remove the chicken tenders and mushrooms from the marinade, and drain off the excess. Broil the chicken and mushrooms until the chicken is browned and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the chicken and mushrooms from the heat, and slice the chicken tenders into bite-sized pieces.
  • To serve, divide the chopped romaine lettuce between four plates, and top each with broiled chicken and mushrooms. Sprinkle each plate with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and sliced basil leaves; serve with the remaining vinaigrette dressing.
