Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1/4 cup rice vinegar

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons honey

2 teaspoons curry powder

10 ounces baby spinach

2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced

1/2 cup dried apricots, thinly sliced

Preparation

Place chicken in a shallow 2-quart microwave-safe dish with a lid; season with salt and pepper. Cover, and microwave on high until opaque throughout, 10 to 12 minutes, turning chicken halfway through. Let cool briefly; slice crosswise.

In a serving bowl, whisk vinegar, oil, Dijon, honey, and curry powder; season with salt and pepper. Add spinach, shallots, and apricots, and toss.
