Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 cups Mixed greens
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 0.5 cup Candied pecans
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the chicken: season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
Step 3
While the chicken is cooking, wash and prepare your salad ingredients: slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, and rinse the blueberries and mixed greens thoroughly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Stir until well combined to create the dressing.
Step 5
In a large salad bowl, assemble the salad: layer the mixed greens, strawberry slices, blueberries, crumbled feta cheese, and candied pecans.
Step 6
Top the salad with the sliced chicken breast and drizzle the balsamic dressing evenly over the top.
Step 7
Gently toss the salad or serve as is to allow everyone to mix their portions to taste. Enjoy your Chicken Berry Salad!
