Chicken

Vinaigrette

Method

Prepare Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated 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 rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare Salad

  1. 3

    Chop Vegetables

    While the chicken is grilling, wash and chop the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Place them in a large salad bowl.

  2. 4

    Slice Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin pieces. Add to the salad bowl.

  3. 5

    Add Feta

    Sprinkle the feta cheese over the salad.

Prepare Vinaigrette

  1. 6

    Mix Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of honey, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.

Assemble Salad

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips and add it to the salad bowl. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
