This nourishing salad can be served as a main dish. Use a head of lettuce or use a bag of mixed organic greens. Serve with Roasted Delicata Squash for a complete meal. My children like to have the chicken on the side of their salad so I keep it all separate and assemble each plate individually. 

Ingredients

Chicken

1½ pounds boneless chicken breasts pounded
1½ cups raw pecans finely ground
