Directions

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

    Prepare the Salad Base

    While the chicken is resting, wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Place them in a large salad bowl.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber. Thinly slice the red onion. Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion to the bowl with the salad greens.

  5. 5

    Slice the Chicken

    Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips. Add the sliced chicken on top of the salad.

  6. 6

    Add Cheese and Dressing

    Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad. Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette over the top, and toss gently to combine all ingredients.

  7. 7
