Instructions

Toast walnuts
1

Before starting, preheat your broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.

Arrange a piece of parchment paper on a clean surface. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add walnuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate, then season with salt.

Candy walnuts
2

Add brown sugar and 1 tbsp water (dbl for 4 ppl) to the same pan. Season with salt. Stir until sugar melts, 1 min. Return toasted walnuts to pan. Cook, stirring often, until mixture turns into a caramel-like, thick glaze that coats the nuts, 1-2 min. Remove pan from heat. Carefully transfer hot candied walnuts to the prepared parchment paper. Spread into an even layer. (NOTE: Don't touch walnuts – they will be VERY hot.) Set aside to cool.

Broil chicken
3

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Toss with 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) and half the Montreal Steak Spice (use all for 4 ppl) on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil in the middle of the oven, until cooked through, 8-10 min.**

Make salad
4

While chicken broils, cut cucumbers into 1/2-inch rounds. Cut four sections off nectarine, avoiding the pit. Cut each section into 1/2-inch slices. Whisk together half the balsamic glaze (all for 4 ppl) and 2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Add arugula and spinach mix, nectarines and cucumbers. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.

Finish and serve
5

Divide salad between plates. Top with Montreal spiced chicken. Sprinkle candied walnuts over top.
