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
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.

3
Prepare the Salad Base
In a large bowl, add mixed greens as the base of your salad.
4
Add Vegetables
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Add these to the mixed greens.
5
Slice the Chicken
Once the grilled chicken has rested, slice it into strips and place it on top of the salad.
6
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
