Ingredients:

2-3 very large navel oranges or 4 small/average size navel oranges
1 small red onion sliced
1/2 seedless cucumber for the summer version of the salad
4 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 package of organic baby spinach or kale
2 package organic green leaf lettuce
1 Seedless cucumber(for the summer version of this dish)
1/4 cup EVOO
1 tablespoon raw honey
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper

Directions:

squeeze all the juice of one large or 2 small oranges into a bowl
add 3 tablespoons of EVOO, 1 tablespoon raw honey, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper to the juiced orange and whisk until well blended.
Spoon about 5 tablespoons of liquid into a ziplock bag and add chicken and marinade for 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. Reserve the remaining liquid.
Slice the remaining orange and place in a bowl
Heat a grill pan over medium high heat with a little bit of EVOO and cook the chicken until done all the way through.
While chicken cooking, in another pan cook the sliced onions until soft, add remaining juice to onions and sautee 1 minute, remove and add the sliced oranges.

**Summer version: Do not cook the oranges or onions. Grill the chicken. Prep the spinach or kale by adding 1 tsp of EVOO to the greens and tossing it. Set aside. Cut up 1/2 a large seedless cucumber and the remaining oranges. Evenly distribute the spinach/kale among 4 plates, top with the organic green leafies and sprinkle with the reserved liquid of the orange "dressing". Place the cucumber and orange mix along with a cooked chicken breast on top and serve.

To serve:

Evenly distribute the spinach and green leaf lettuce between 4 plates

Drizzle any remaining orange juice liquid over top and eat!
