Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey

• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and finely slice the red onion.

Step 4

Prepare the balsamic vinaigrette by whisking together balsamic vinegar, remaining olive oil, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 6

Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Salad Balsamic!
