With a pleasing chew and toasty sweetness, sorghum and wheat berries make a lovely pairing in a salad with chicken, strawberries and blue cheese. If desired, add dressing to the grains while they're cooling so they absorb the aromatic flavors.

Wheat Berries Strawberry-Chicken Salad

Rinse sorghum; place in a large saucepan. Add water, wheat berries and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 50 to 60 minutes or until grains are tender.  Drain any remaining liquid; set aside.

Season chicken with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, black pepper and garlic powder. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat; add chicken to skillet. Cook chicken for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Cool slightly. Cut chicken into strips.

Line four dinner plates with salad greens. Top with chicken, prepared grains, strawberries and blue cheese. Drizzle with balsamic dressing, if desired.
