Preparation Time: 15 minutes / Grill: 10 minutes / Servings Per Recipe: 4
Ingredients
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Nonstick cooking spray
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups hulled and quartered strawberries
1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
1 bottle (7 ounces) El Mexicano® Peach Drinkable Yogurt

2 tbsps. honey
1 tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions
1. Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Spray both sides of chicken with nonstick cooking spray; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place chicken on hot grill rack. Cook 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken loses its pink color throughout and reaches an internal temperature of 165°, turning once. When cool enough to handle, dice chicken into 1/2-inch pieces.
2. In small bowl, toss strawberries and almonds. In separate small bowl, whisk together yogurt and crema. Add honey, basil, lemon juice and vanilla extract, and whisk to combine. Refrigerate all ingredients until ready to serve.
3. Before serving, drain pineapple and fold together all ingredients except greens. To serve, line 4 individual serving plates with mixed greens and scoop chicken salad onto each plate. Serve with your favorite crackers or muffins.
