Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper to form the marinade for the chicken.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and coat them with the prepared marinade. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Rinse and dry the salad greens thoroughly, then spread them evenly across a large serving platter or bowl.
Hull and slice the strawberries. Thinly slice the red onion.
In a small jar or bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Whisk or shake until emulsified.
Arrange the sliced chicken, strawberries, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese on top of the salad greens.
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss lightly if desired. Enjoy!
