Although we've provided a spice mix for blackening the chicken, there are several commercial mixes you can use but be forewarned: They are high in salt. If you like your food hot, try Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning line. If you prefer it mild, try McCormick's Cajun Seasoning mix.

  • Combine lemon juice, mustard, water, and honey in a large bowl; stir well with a wire whisk. Cover and chill.

  • Rub chicken with Spicy Seasoning. Coat a large heavy skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken, and cook 7 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from skillet, and let cool. Cut chicken across grain into thin slices, and set aside.

  • Steam snap peas, covered, for 2 minutes. Rinse under cold water, and drain. Add snap peas and lettuce to the lemon juice mixture, and toss well. Divide the lettuce mixture evenly among 4 large salad bowls; top each serving with 1 cup of the tomato mixture and 1 sliced chicken breast half. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
