Description

This Honey Mustard Chicken Salad is a hearty, wholesome mix of juicy grilled chicken, crisp greens, fresh veggies, and a sweet and tangy honey mustard dressing. It’s easy to put together and great for meal prep or a quick, healthy meal.

Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

For the honey mustard dressing (and marinade):

  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the salad:

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

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots (optional)

  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds or chopped pecans (optional)

  • Crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)

 

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing/marinade:
    In a bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  2. Marinate the chicken:
    Set aside 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Pour the rest over the chicken and marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge).

  3. Cook the chicken:
    Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.

  4. Assemble the salad:
    In a large bowl or platter, arrange the greens, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, avocado, carrots, nuts, and cheese if using. Top with sliced chicken.

  5. Drizzle and serve:
    Drizzle reserved dressing over the top just before serving. Toss if desired, or serve as a composed salad.

Notes

  • Swap chicken for grilled tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian version.

  • Use store-bought honey mustard dressing if you’re in a rush.

  • Great for meal prep – keep components separate until ready to eat.
