Pampered chef Recipe - Chicken, avocado and Grapefruit Salad

This is the recipe from my pampered chef party last night. Hope you enjoy!!

Chicken
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tbsp Citrus and Basil Rub
1 tsp olive oil

Dressing and salad
1 large ruby red grapefruit
1 Tbsp orange mamalade
4 tbsp olive oil
1/4 salt and pepper
4-6 radishes
1 firm ripe avocado
1 bag baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup sliced red onion

Cashews
2 Tbsp sweet caramel sprinkle (I used cinnamon)
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp light corn syrup
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup cashews

For cashews, combine everything but cashews in a saute pan. Stir over medium heat until butter is melted. Add cashews and cook, stirring constantly, 5-7 minutes or until evenly brown and syrup turns a brown color. Spread cashews in a single layer on parchment paper. sprinkle with additional caramal sprinkle. Cool completely.

For Chicken, combine ingredients. Grill chicken.

For dressing, zest grapefruit until you have 1 tsp of zest. Cut grapefruit in half and section and put sections in a separate bowl. Juice the grapefruit halves to measure 1/4 c juice. Combine zest, juice, marmalade, oil, salt and black pepper and whisk.

For salad, slice radishes. Peel and dice avocado. Slice chicken crosswise into strips. Place spinach in a bowl and add radishes, avocado, chicken, grapefruit sections and onion. Pour dressing over salad and toss. Garnish with cashews.

yum! that looks great! i made a great steak sandwich the other day...
marinate thin cut strip steaks in teriyaki, soy, and worstechester sauce. put on a screaming hot pan for a minute or two on each side. cut into strips and put on a hoagie roll. sprinkle mozzarella on top and broil for 5 minutes. spread mayo mixed with chives and garlic salt on the bread. it's awesome!
