Reduce heat to medium, then add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and chicken. Sear until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.\*\* (TIP: If chicken is browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low.)

Add spring mix, cranberries and croutons to the large bowl with apples and dressing. Just before serving, toss to combine.
