Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add vinegar, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Core, then cut apple into bite-sized pieces. Add apples to the bowl with dressing, then toss to coat. (TIP: Tossing chopped apples in dressing prevents them from turning brown!)
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with pepper and BBQ seasoning.
Reduce heat to medium, then add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and chicken. Sear until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.** (TIP: If chicken is browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low.)
Add spring mix, cranberries and croutons to the large bowl with apples and dressing. Just before serving, toss to combine.
Divide salad between platesTop with chicken, then drizzle ranch dressing over top. Using kitchen shears, snip chives over top.
