Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 cups mixed greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup croutons (optional)

Dressing (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While it heats, rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Grill the Chicken: Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and avocado. Sprinkle feta cheese and croutons on top if you like.
  • Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Assemble the Salad: Slice the grilled chicken breasts and place them on top of the salad. Drizzle with dressing and serve!

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Adjust the dressing ingredients to taste, especially if you prefer a creamier dressing.
