Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to create a marinade. Add the chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Once done, remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    While the chicken is resting, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables and Cheese

    Cut the grape tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl with romaine lettuce. Then, add the mozzarella cheese pearls.

  3. 5

    Slice the Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken breasts into thin strips and arrange them on top of the salad.

Finish the Salad

  1. 6

    Add Toppings

    Drizzle balsamic glaze and basil pesto sauce over the salad. Top with herbed-garlic croutons for added crunch.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy!
