Clean and trim chicken breast. Slice whole breasts through so they are less than half inch at thickess part. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp of Raspberry Basalmic Vinaigrette. loosely wrap in foil and bake 30 minutes on 375 F. Do not overcook or let chicken dry out. While chicken is baking, chop 4 - 6 red apples into cubes (I leave the skin on, giving the salad lots of color). Put into large salad bowl and toss with lemon juice. Set aside.
