GRILLED CHICKEN AND RASPBERRY-SPINACH SALAD

from Alicia Steele
     1 c. raspberry fruit spread
     1/4 c. red wine vinegar
     2 Tbsp. olive oil
     4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb.)
     8 c. torn fresh spinach
     1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen raspberries, thawed and drained
     1/2 c. thinly sliced red onion
     1/4 c. sliced almonds, toasted
Heat gas or charcoal grill.  In a small bowl, stir together fruit spread, vinegar and olive oil; reserve 1/3 c. for glaze.  Set remaining mixture aside.

Carefully brush grill rack with oil.  Place chicken on grill over medium heat.  Brush chicken with reserved glaze.  Cover grill; cook 5 minutes.  Turn chicken over; brush with glaze.  Cover grill; cook 3-7 minutes longer, brushing occasionally with glaze, until juice of chicken is clean when center of thickest part is cut (170 F).

Meanwhile, on 4 individual dinner plates, arrange spinach, raspberries, onion and almonds.  Cut each grilled chicken breast into slices; place on top of salads.  Drizzle with remaining fruit spread mixture.

High altitude: Cook chicken without the glaze 5 minutes.  Brush with glaze, turn chicken, brush other sides with glaze and continue as directed.
