Ingredients
  

  • Chicken breasts because protein is king!
  • Mixed greens for a burst of freshness
  • Cherry tomatoes juicy and flavorful
  • Cucumber crisp and refreshing
  • Red onion for a pop of color and flavor
  • Avocado creamy and dreamy
  • Honey mustard dressing tangy and sweet
  • Olive oil for golden goodness
  • Honey to add a touch of sweetness
  • Dijon mustard for that classic mustard flavor
  • Garlic because everything is better with garlic!
  • Salt and pepper because seasoning is key!

Method
 

  1. Start by marinating your chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if you have time.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they're cooked through and have a nice char.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, chop your mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado and place them in a large salad bowl.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  5. Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl and drizzle with honey mustard dressing.
  6. Toss everything together until well coated, and get ready to dig in!

Notes

Don't have a grill? No problem! You can cook the chicken in a skillet on the stove or even bake it in the oven.
Feel free to customize your salad with your favorite toppings. Crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and toasted nuts all make tasty additions!
Want to make it vegetarian? Skip the chicken and add some grilled tofu or chickpeas for a protein-packed alternative.
