Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup blueberries
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season them evenly with salt and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set the chicken aside to rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, blueberries, crumbled feta cheese, sliced almonds, and thinly sliced red onion.
To make the dressing, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful Blueberry Chicken Salad!
