INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat grill for medium-high heat.

Season chicken with steak seasoning. 

In a small saucepan heat orange marmalade to thin slightly. Set aside about 1/2 cup for basting and 1/2 cup for dressing.

Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, basting frequently with the reserved portion of the dressing. Cool, and cut into strips. Discard basting sauce.

Heap approximately 2 cups of spinach per plate. Arrange walnuts, mandarin oranges, purple onions, and goat cheese over spinach. Top the salad with grilled chicken strips, and drizzle with remaining dressing to serve.
