Grilled Herb Chicken Salad
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tsp thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Salad:
4 cups mixed greens (spring mix, arugula, or spinach)
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup cucumber slices
For the Dressing:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
Grill the chicken: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
Make the dressing: Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad and toss to coat.
Top and serve: Arrange the sliced grilled chicken over the salad and serve immediately.
