Instructions
For the salad, toss mushrooms, spinach, shallots, parsley, and mint in a bowl.
For the chicken, cook bacon in a large sauté pan until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain, then toss with spinach salad. Sauté chicken in pan with drippings over medium-high heat until cooked through, 8–10 minutes per side. Let chicken rest 2 minutes, then thinly slice.
Serve salad topped with chicken slices and Lemon-Pepper Vinaigrette.
Mushrooms only require a quick wipe with a damp cloth to clean before preparing or eating.
Quickly slice mushrooms by running them through a food processor fitted with the thinnest slicing blade.
