Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup cucumber, diced
• 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to make a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 5

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, Greek yogurt, and water until smooth. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 6

Assemble the salad by arranging the mixed greens on a large serving platter or individual plates. Top with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 7

Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips and place them on top of the salad.

Step 8

Drizzle the lite honey mustard dressing over the salad and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Rustic Grilled Chicken Salad with Lite Honey Mustard Dressing!
