Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts Choose fresh, high-quality chicken for the best results.
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens A mix of spinach, arugula, and lettuce works great.
  • 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes Halved for ease of eating.
  • 0.5 cup cucumber Sliced for a refreshing crunch.
  • 0.25 cup feta cheese Adds a nice tangy flavor.
  • 0.5 cup olive oil Use extra virgin for best flavor.
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar Can substitute with apple cider vinegar if preferred.
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard For added depth in the dressing.
  • 1 tsp honey Balances the acidity of the dressing.
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder Gives a lovely aromatic flavor.
  • 0.5 tsp salt Adjust to taste.
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper Freshly ground for the best flavor.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Start by cooking the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook them in a skillet over medium heat until golden and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes on each side. Once done, let them rest before slicing.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and feta cheese. Add the cooled and sliced chicken on top.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty and refreshing meal!
