Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

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

Preparation of Salad

    While the chicken is grilling, wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and chop the cucumber into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cucumber.

Preparation of Dressing

  1. 5

    Make the Dressing

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

Final Assembly

    Combine Everything

    Slice the grilled chicken and add it to the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
