Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, fresh raspberries, sliced almonds, and crumbled feta cheese.
To prepare the raspberry vinaigrette, whisk together the raspberry preserves, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the salad. Drizzle the raspberry vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
