Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup walnuts (or pecans)
1 cup orange juice
12 oz chicken breasts, cooked
1 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup green onions, chopped
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt (opt)
10 oz baby spinach (6 cups)
1 cup orange sections (3 medium oranges)

Directions:

Toast nuts on baking sheet in a 350° F oven for 5-6 minutes until lightly brown and fragrant. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Set aside.
Shred or chop chicken breasts (or use canned chicken). In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons juice and chicken; toss well and set aside.
Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté 5 minutes. Add remaining juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine spinach, oranges, and nuts with chicken. Add hot dressing mixture and toss well. Divide on four serving plates. Serve with freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
(In place of orange sections, use grapes, strawberries or canned mandarin oranges.)
