Salad Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet. This is called paillard.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the crisp lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and radishes.

  5. 5

    Slice the Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and add it to the salad.

  6. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the lemon chive dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
