Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 pound Asparagus spears
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 cups Baby spinach leaves
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 piece Avocado
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Grill or cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
While the chicken cooks, snap the woody ends off the asparagus and blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach leaves, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, blanched asparagus, and crumbled feta cheese. Toss gently to mix.
Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the salad and drizzle with the prepared dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Asparagus Salad!
