Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from grill and let rest.

Salad Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens. Crumble the gorgonzola cheese over the greens and sprinkle the cranberry walnuts on top.

  2. 4

    Slice Chicken

    Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips and place it on top of the salad.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix Dressing

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