Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 200 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 3
While the chicken is cooking, clean the cremini mushrooms and slice them thinly.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves and cook them in the skillet for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly browned. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cooked mushroom mixture, and the sliced chicken.
Step 7
Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat evenly.
Step 8
Plate the salad and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
