Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 pieces medium potatoes
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, etc.)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a boil. Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
Add the potato cubes to the boiling water and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
While the potatoes cook, season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips or shredding.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Slice the avocados and halve the cherry tomatoes, if using.
In a large serving bowl, layer the mixed greens, cooled potatoes, chicken slices, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
