Tender, perfectly seared chicken breast slices rest atop a bed of crisp mixed salad greens, complemented by sweet, juicy strawberries and the creamy decadence of crumbled goat cheese.

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced strawberries, crumbled goat cheese, and candied pecans.
Add the sliced chicken on top of the salad mixture.
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine, or serve the dressing on the side for individual preference.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful Chicken Strawberry Salad with Goat Cheese!
