Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Salad Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large serving tray, layer mixed greens evenly across the base.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle gorgonzola cheese crumbles and glazed cranberry walnuts over the mixed greens.

  3. 5

    Add Grilled Chicken

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

Dressing Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Dressing

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

  2. 7

    Serve

    Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad just before serving or serve on the side.
