Directions
Step 1
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, raspberry vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the raspberry vinaigrette. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 4
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, fresh raspberries, pecans, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss gently to mix.
Step 5
Add the sliced grilled chicken to the salad mix. Crumble the goat cheese over the top.
Step 6
Drizzle the raspberry vinaigrette over the salad just before serving and toss gently to combine.
