Ingredients

• 2 Plantains (ripe, but still firm)
• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 4 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 Avocado (sliced)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and smoked paprika. Arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake the plantains for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 4

Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

In a large salad bowl, combine the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, sliced avocado, roasted plantains, and cooked chicken.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Honey Mustard Plantain Chicken Salad!
