Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup Sliced almonds, toasted
• 1 half-cup Goat cheese crumbles
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

Step 4

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the balsamic vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced strawberries, toasted almonds, and goat cheese crumbles.

Step 6

Add the sliced grilled chicken to the salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 7

Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss lightly again to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Divide the salad onto 4 plates or bowls and serve immediately.
