Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup Ginger marmalade
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 cup Orange segments (peeled and sliced)
• 1 small Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Slivered almonds, toasted
• 0.25 cup Balsamic vinaigrette
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the ginger marmalade, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Reserve the remaining half for brushing later.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Brush the reserved marinade over the chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Step 7

Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 8

While the chicken is resting, assemble the salad by arranging the mixed greens, orange segments, cucumber slices, red onion, and toasted almonds on a platter or individual plates.

Step 9

Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Ginger Marmalade Grilled Chicken Salad!
