Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 large avocado
- 1 small cucumber
- 0.25 small red onion
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt on both sides.
Step 3
Grill the chicken breasts for 7-8 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and have nice grill marks.
Step 4
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad. Place the mixed greens in a large salad bowl.
Step 5
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion. Add these to the salad bowl.
Step 6
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Step 7
To make the dressing, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and chopped fresh basil in a small bowl.
Step 8
Add the sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, and drizzle the homemade dressing over the top.
Step 9
Toss everything gently to combine and serve immediately.
