Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well and coat the chicken breasts with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

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

Assembling the Salad

  1. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, add mixed greens as the base of your salad.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Add these to the mixed greens.

  3. 5

    Slice the Chicken

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

  4. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
