Cook chicken

  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)

4

  • To a small bowl, add half the cream cheese (use all for 4 servings), chopped pickles, half the mayo and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic. (NOTE: Like it garlicky? Add more garlic!) 
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

5
Make vinaigrette and salad

  • To a large bowl, add mustard, remaining mayo, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) pickle brine, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
  • When chicken is done, to the large bowl with vinaigrette, add tomatoes, spinach and sliced pickles. Toss to combine.
