1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
8 cups bagged baby spinach |
pomegranate vinaigrette |
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion |
1 cup fresh blueberries |
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled blue cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat a grill pan or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with pepper and salt. Coat chicken with cooking spray, and add to pan. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until done.

3. Choice Ingredient
4. Antioxidant-rich pomegranate juice has found a place in a healthful diet that stretches beyond a quick cup of juice with breakfast. Pomegranate juice has a rich and tangy flavor, which makes it an ideal ingredient to use in simple salad dressings and pan sauces with short ingredient lists.
