Method

For the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat and let rest.

For the Croutons

  1. 3

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix the cubed baguette with melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until well coated.

  2. 4

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the coated bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and let cool.

For the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, shredded radicchio, shaved Brussels sprouts, sliced apple, and pickled red onions.

  2. 6

    Add the Croutons

    Once the croutons have cooled, add them to the salad mixture and toss gently.

For the Grilled Lemon Vinaigrette

  1. 7

    Grill the Lemon

    Cut the lemon in half and grill cut-side down for about 3-4 minutes until charred. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 8

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, squeeze the grilled lemon juice into a mixing bowl. Whisk in olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 9

    Combine Everything

    Slice the grilled chicken and add it on top of the salad. Drizzle the grilled lemon vinaigrette over the top and toss gently to combine.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Plate the salad and serve immediately, garnished with extra croutons if desired.
