Grill: 10 minutes • Serves: 6

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1-1/4 cups prepared poppy seed dressing or Sweet Onion-Poppy Seed Dressing (recipe below)
1 bag (10 ounces) chopped romaine lettuce (about 8 cups)
1 bag (8 ounces) baby spinach (about 8 cups)
1 package (16 ounces) fresh strawberries, quartered (about 3 cups)
2 small avocados, peeled, pitted and chopped (about 1-1/2 cups)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup sliced almonds

1. Place chicken in large zip-top plastic bag; add 1/2 cup dressing. Seal bag, pressing out excess air; refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours to marinate.

Place chicken on hot grill rack; cook 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken loses its pink color throughout and reaches an internal temperature of 165°, turning once halfway through cooking. Remove chicken from grill; cover loosely with aluminum foil and let stand 10 minutes; slice.

3. In large serving bowl, toss lettuce and spinach; top with strawberries, avocados and onion. Sprinkle with almonds and drizzle with remaining 3/4 cup dressing. Serve with chicken.
