Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup Sliced almonds, toasted
- 1 half-cup Goat cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the balsamic vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced strawberries, toasted almonds, and goat cheese crumbles.
Add the sliced grilled chicken to the salad and toss gently to combine.
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss lightly again to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Divide the salad onto 4 plates or bowls and serve immediately.
