Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 large avocado
- 1 small cucumber
- 0.25 small red onion
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt on both sides.
Grill the chicken breasts for 7-8 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and have nice grill marks.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad. Place the mixed greens in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion. Add these to the salad bowl.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
To make the dressing, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and chopped fresh basil in a small bowl.
Add the sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, and drizzle the homemade dressing over the top.
Toss everything gently to combine and serve immediately.
