  • 8 cups mixed lettuce, washed and torn into bite-size pieces
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup raspberries

  • Over medium-low heat, add chicken and orange juice to skillet. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and cover the pan. Cook chicken for 6 minutes, then turn it over and cook for another 6 minutes. Shut off heat, remove lid, and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut off tops and bottoms of remaining 3 oranges with a sharp paring knife; peel the oranges, removing all the white pith, and slice into rounds.
  • In a large bowl, toss the fennel and lettuce with all but 2 tablespoons of the reserved dressing.
  • Divide the lettuce mixture among the four chilled dinner plates. Slice the chicken into thin strips. Arrange the chicken, orange sections, and onion slices on top of lettuce. Drizzle with remaining dressing, sprinkle with raspberries and serve.
