    3 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
    1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil
    1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 lb. total)
    2 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
    2 tablespoons cooking oil
    8 cups torn mixed greens
    3 medium oranges, peeled and sectioned
    3 medium tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges
    8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and
    quartered
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

    Recipe



    1. For coating mixture, in a shall dish combine peanuts, bread crumbs, 1
    tablespoon basil, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Set aside. Rinse
    chicken; pat dry. Brush each breast half with margarine or butter. Dip in peanut mixture, pressing firmly to coat.

    2. In a large skillet cook the chicken breasts in hot oil over medium-low heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted near
    the center registers 170 degree F, turning once. Cool slightly. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

    3. Meanwhile, in a very large bowl combine greens, orange sections, tomato
    wedges, and cheese. In a screw-top jar combine olive oil or salad oil, balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil, salt, 1/4 teaspoon
    crushed red pepper, and freshly ground black pepper. Cover and shake well.
    Drizzle vinaigrette over all; toss to coat. Spoon salad onto large platter. Top with sliced chicken. Serve immediately. Makes 6 main-dish servings.
