Zucchini and Chicken Salad

1/8 cup + 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 cup fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper
1 cup zucchini, thinly sliced
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 bunch (8 oz) spinach, chopped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the olive oil, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the zucchini, toss to coat, and let marinate while cooking the chicken.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet, and slice thin.

Toss the chicken with the zucchini mixture, spinach, red onion, almonds, parmesan cheese, and mint. Serve.
