Preparation Steps
Grill the Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Salad Base
In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, grape tomatoes (halved), shredded cheese, and red onions. Toss gently to combine.
Assemble the Salad
Slice the grilled chicken breast and arrange it over the bed of salad. Top the salad with spicy pecans.
Serve
Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette just before serving or serve it on the side.
