Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup cranberries dried
  • 0.8 teaspoon lemon pepper 
  • 0.3 cup juice of lime fresh
  • 0.3 cup orange juice fresh
  • 0.3 cup orange marmalade 
  • cups cranberry-orange relish diced
  • tablespoons orange zest 
  • 10 ounce the salad 
  • 0.8 teaspoon salt 
  •  chicken breast halves boneless skinless
  • 0.3 cup vegetable oil 
  • tablespoons vodka lemon flavored
  • 0.3 cup roasted cranberry sauce 

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • grill
  • kitchen thermometer
  • ziploc bags
  • cutting board

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cranberry sauce and orange marmalade. Warm and stir until melted and well blended.
  2. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice, orange juice and vegetable oil.
  3. Remove 1/2 cup of the mixture and set aside in the refrigerator for later.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool then stir in the lemon vodka and transfer to a large resealable bag. Season the chicken pieces with salt and lemon pepper; place them into the bag with the marinade. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, turning occasionally.
  5. Preheat a grill for medium heat.
  6. Remove the chicken from the plastic bag, discarding the marinade.
  7. Place the chicken pieces on the preheated grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until firm and no longer pink in the center. If you have a meat thermometer, it should measure 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) when measured in the thickest part.
  8. Remove chicken to a cutting board and allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
  9. While the chicken is resting, combine the salad greens, cranberries, and orange segments.
  10. Pour the reserved citrus marinade over the salad and toss lightly to coat. Divide the salad between four serving plates. Slice each piece of chicken crosswise into 1/2 inch strips. Arrange over the tops of the salads and sprinkle with orange zest strips.
