Poppy Seed Chicken

We tried this one out last night, it was pretty tasty. It can be served either as a main course, or a side dish. If you are preparing to serve a lot of people, use the entire bags of lettuce and spinach. Since I was making this for the only two people that would eat it, I just made each salad on plates.
Spinach leaves
Romaine leaves
Grilled chicken, sliced
Red onion, sliced thinly (this part I omitted since we aren't the biggest onion fans)
Crispy bacon, crumbled (I cheated and used the Hormel already cooked and crumbled) Shredded mozzarella cheese
Sugared almonds (Put sliced almonds in a pan with lots of granulated sugar-about equal amounts-Cook on medium heat until sugar melts, coating the almonds as they brown)
Poppy seed Salad Dressing
