Honey-Spice Chicken Salad

I found the recipe for the chicken in Cooking Light and used it in a simple salad with my go-to Honey-Mustard Vinaigrette - delicious! Of course you can always eat the chicken as the main course with some garlic-roasted potatoes and a little side salad. It's great on it's own as well.

Salad:
Green-Leaf Lettuce
Avocados
Feta Cheese
Cucumbers

Chicken:
8 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs (I skinned and de-boned them)
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
Cooking spray
6 Tbs honey
2 tsp cider vinegar

Preheat broiler.

Combine garlic powder through paprika in a large bowl. Add chicken to bowl; toss to coat. Place chicken on a sheet pan lined with foil and coated with cooking spray. Broil chicken 5 minutes on each side.

Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl, stirring well. Remove chicken from oven; brush honey mixture on chicken. Broil 1 minute. remove chicken from oven and turn over. Brush with remaining honey mixture. Broil 1 additional minute or until chicken is done.

Honey Mustard Vinaigrette:

5 Tbs honey
3 Tbs dijon mustard
2 Tbs rice wine vinegar

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Serve as a dressing or a dip.
