Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, and romaine)
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (or goat cheese)
1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: fresh basil or mint leaves for garnish
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.
