Preparation

Preheat barbecue. Place chicken breasts in shallow baking dish. Mix Balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Drizzle with vinaigrette and turn breasts to coat well. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

In small bowl, whisk together cream and Balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. In large pot of boiling and salted water, cook beans until tender-crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold running water and drain again. In bowl, toss beans, tomatoes and creamy dressing.

Place chicken breasts on greased grill over medium-high heat. Cook until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board. Cover with foil and let rest 5 minutes.

Divide spinach and bean and cherry tomato mixture among 6 plates. Thinly slice chicken lengthwise and place on top of vegetables. Garnish with Canadian Parmesan cheese shavings, if desired.
