Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium (sliced) Cucumber
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
While the chicken rests, prepare the dressing by whisking together honey, Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.
Add the sliced chicken on top of the salad and drizzle with the honey mustard dressing.
Toss gently to combine or serve with the dressing on the side. Enjoy your light honey mustard chicken salad!
