    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
    1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
    1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
    4 cups bite-size pieces fresh spinach leaves

    Recipe



    1. Preheat oven to 375°F. To make croutons, spray bread cubes lightly with cooking spray; place in 15×10-inch jelly-roll pan. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

    2. Combine paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, white pepper, red pepper and black pepper in small bowl; rub on all surfaces of chicken. Broil chicken, 6 inches from heat, 7 to 8 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Or, grill chicken on covered grill over medium-hot coals 10 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Cool slightly. Cut chicken into thin strips.

    3. Combine warm chicken, greens, zucchini, cucumber, green onions, tomato and reserved croutons in large bowl. Drizzle with Ranch Salad Dressing; toss to coat. Serve immediately.
