Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks or chop it into bite-sized pieces.

    Chop the tomato into small pieces and add it to the chicken and cottage cheese mixture. Then, add the mixed fruit to the bowl and gently toss everything together.

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle lemon juice over the salad and add additional salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything gently to combine well.
