Recipe Summary Balsamic Chicken Salad
My family enjoys these flavors in the Balsamic Chicken and Fresh Mozzarella recipe from this site. I turned it into a salad with great results.

Toss together sliced mushrooms with 1/3 bottle of dressing in a separate bowl. Reserve the remaining 1/3 bottle. Allow the chicken tenders and mushrooms to marinate for at least 30 minutes.Preheat the oven's broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.Remove the chicken tenders and mushrooms from the marinade, and drain off the excess.
