Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, wash and dry the mixed greens, strawberries, and blueberries. Slice the strawberries and peel and segment the orange slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, lime zest, and Dijon mustard to make the dressing.
To assemble the salad, place the mixed greens in a large bowl or platter. Top with strawberries, blueberries, orange slices, feta cheese, and sliced almonds.
Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips and place on top of the salad.
Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
