Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    If using leftover chicken, shred or chop the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. If cooking fresh chicken, grill, boil, or bake the chicken until fully cooked, then let it cool before cutting.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion.

  3. 3

    Combine the Base Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Toss well to combine.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Dressing

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

  2. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Add Toppings

    Slice the avocado and arrange it on top of the salad. Sprinkle the feta cheese and chopped parsley over the salad for added flavor and garnish.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the ensalada de pollo immediately, or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving if desired. Enjoy!
