Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 200 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, clean the cremini mushrooms and slice them thinly.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves and cook them in the skillet for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly browned. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cooked mushroom mixture, and the sliced chicken.
Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat evenly.
Plate the salad and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
