Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 0.5 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until emulsified. Set aside.
Slice the rested chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced strawberries, blueberries, mandarin orange segments, sliced almonds, and crumbled feta cheese.
Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the salad.
Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine, or serve the vinaigrette on the side for guests to dress their own portions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Three In One Salad!
