Vito's Chicken Salad Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

2. 2

   Grill the Chicken

   Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill them over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it.

3. 3

   Prepare the Walnuts

   In the same skillet used for bacon, add the walnuts and a tablespoon of honey. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until the walnuts are golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.

4. 4

   Assemble the Salad

   In a large bowl, combine the sliced grilled chicken, crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes (halved), caramelized walnuts, dried cranberries, and bleu cheese crumbles.

5. 5

   Dress the Salad

   Drizzle honey mustard dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
