Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Season the chicken – Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano.
  2. Grill or pan-sear – Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
  3. Rest and slice – Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Prepare the Dressing:

  1. Whisk ingredients together – In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Assemble the Salad:

  1. Arrange the greens – In a large bowl or serving platter, spread the mixed greens evenly.
  2. Add vegetables and toppings – Scatter cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, shredded carrots, nuts, and cheese over the greens.
  3. Top with chicken – Place sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad.

Serve:

 

  1. Drizzle with dressing – Pour the dressing evenly over the salad. Toss gently to combine.
  2. Enjoy immediately – Serve fresh with extra dressing on the side if desired.
