Instructions

Step 1: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt for a creamier dressing if desired.

Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced strawberries, and walnuts. Drizzle with the balsamic dressing and toss gently until everything is well coated.

Step 4: Slice the rested chicken into strips and place it on top of the salad. Sprinkle with feta cheese or goat cheese and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Step 5: Serve immediately, enjoying with a glass of chilled white wine or sparkling water.
