1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2
Cook the Chicken
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
3
Prepare the Salad
While the chicken is cooking, wash and dry the spring mix. Slice the tomato into wedges.
4
Assemble the Dish
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice the chicken into strips. In a large bowl, combine the spring mix, tomato wedges, and sliced chicken. Drizzle pesto sauce over the top and toss to coat.
5
Add Cheese
Place provolone cheese slices on top of the salad mixture and serve immediately.
