Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 large Carrot
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese

Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, red onion, and red bell pepper. Peel the carrot and slice it into thin ribbons using a peeler or a grater.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, red bell pepper, and carrot.
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips and arrange over the salad.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh garden salad with grilled chicken.
