Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0.5 cup pecans
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons raspberry preserves
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking. Rub both sides with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73.8°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken rests, prepare the salad base. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, raspberries, crumbled feta, pecans, and thinly sliced red onion.
To make the raspberry vinaigrette, whisk together the raspberry preserves, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl until well blended. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl. Drizzle the raspberry vinaigrette over the top and gently toss to combine.
Divide the salad among plates or bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Raspberry Chicken Salad!
