Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad

1 cup creamy garlic salad dressing
1 cup finely chopped pecans
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 head romaine lettuce leaves, torn into 1/2 inch wide strips
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup dried cranberries
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup Ranch dressing


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Place the creamy garlic dressing and pecans in separate bowls. Dip each chicken breast in the dressing then in the pecans to coat. Arrange chicken on a baking sheet.
Bake chicken 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until juices run clear. Cool slightly, and cut into strips.
On serving plates, arrange equal amounts of the lettuce, mandarin oranges, cranberries, and blue cheese. Top with equal amounts chicken, and serve with Ranch dressing.

This sounds an awful lot like a salad I had on our way to visit the kids in Missouri and it was delicious so I will have to try this one too. I found it at allrecipes.com

This would be a quick meal too...15 minutes prep time and 25 cooking time. Serves 4.
