Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup strawberries
- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 0.75 cup mandarin oranges (canned, drained)
- 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbles
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken cooks, wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Place them in a large bowl.
Hull and slice the strawberries and add them to the salad greens along with the blueberries and mandarin oranges.
Sprinkle the feta cheese crumbles and sliced almonds evenly over the salad greens.
To make the dressing, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and orange juice in a small bowl until emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken and serve immediately.
