Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Cucumber
- 1 Avocado
- 0.25 Red onion
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. Once hot, place the chicken breasts onto the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
Step 3
While the chicken rests, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, and dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a large salad bowl, combine the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado. Add the crumbled feta cheese on top.
Step 5
For the dressing, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 6
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken and serve immediately. Enjoy!
