Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Plantains (ripe, but still firm)
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 Avocado (sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and smoked paprika. Arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the plantains for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, sliced avocado, roasted plantains, and cooked chicken.
Drizzle the honey mustard dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Honey Mustard Plantain Chicken Salad!
