Description

This grilled chicken salad is fresh, flavorful, and packed with protein. Juicy grilled chicken sits on a bed of crisp greens with colorful veggies and a zesty dressing. It’s perfect for a light lunch, dinner, or meal prep. Quick to make and easy to customize with your favorite toppings!


Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 6 cups mixed salad greens (like romaine, spinach, arugula)

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cucumber, sliced

  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

For the Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken:
    Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  2. Grill the Chicken:
    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

  3. Make the Dressing:
    In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  4. Assemble the Salad:
    In a large bowl or plate, layer salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado. Top with grilled chicken slices and sprinkle with feta cheese if using.

  5. Serve:
    Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently before serving.


Notes

  • Add croutons or nuts (like almonds or walnuts) for extra crunch.

  • Swap feta for goat cheese or leave it out for a dairy-free option.

  • Great for meal prep—store components separately and assemble when ready to eat.
