Balsamic Grilled Chicken with Mandarin and Goat Cheese Salad

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon rosemary
4 cups spring salad mix
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
4 ounces of goat cheese or feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
1 cup of grapes, sliced in halves

Preparation:
Drain the mandarin oranges and reserve the juice.
Stir together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and rosemary in a bowl with 4 tablespoons of the mandarin orange juice to make a dressing.
Toss together all the salad ingredients except the cheese.
Toss 2 tablespoons of the dressing on the salad.
Place the salad in individual bowls and sprinkle the goat cheese on top.
Put the remaining dressing in a bowl and let the chicken sit in it for 5 minutes while the indoor grill heats up.
Grill the chicken breasts until done, about 3-5 minutes.
Slice and serve on top of the salad, or serve them whole on the side.
