Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 quarter cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Meanwhile, prepare the salad greens by washing and drying them thoroughly. Add them to a large salad bowl.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, toasted almonds, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the greens. Toss gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
