Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 cups Mixed greens
- 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup (sliced) Cucumber
- 1 whole (diced) Avocado
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (sliced, toasted) Almonds
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove (finely minced) Garlic
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken rests, prepare the salad base by combining the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and red onion in a large salad bowl.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let them cool.
Make the dressing by whisking together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl and drizzle with the dressing. Toss the salad gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Garnish with toasted almonds and serve immediately. Enjoy your healthy and delicious P90X Chicken Salad Level III!
