Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 can (14 ounces) Canned artichoke hearts
- 6 cups Mixed greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes

Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the vegetables. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.
Drain the canned artichoke hearts and cut them into quarters if they are not pre-cut.
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of honey, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, artichoke hearts, and feta cheese.
Add the sliced chicken on top of the salad.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Artichoke Hearts Salad!
