Main Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Season the natural chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown. Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before chopping into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Crisp the Prosciutto

    In the same skillet, add the prosciutto slices and cook over medium heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and let cool on a paper towel.

  3. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomato and finely chop the red onion. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the chopped chicken and crumbled blue cheese to the bowl with the tomato and onion.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the chopped chicken mixture in the large bowl and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
