Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Montreal steak seasoning
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium-sized Cucumber
- 0.5 medium-sized Red onion
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and coat them evenly with the Montreal steak seasoning.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
While the chicken rests, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion. Add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Toss the salad with the dressing until evenly coated.
Top the salad with the grilled chicken strips and sprinkle with feta cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Montreal Grilled Chicken Salad!
