Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and finely slice the red onion.
Prepare the balsamic vinaigrette by whisking together balsamic vinegar, remaining olive oil, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Salad Balsamic!
