Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 cups mixed greens
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 large avocado, diced
1/2 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and golden brown. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Preheat the grill, then cook the marinated chicken for a few minutes per side until charred and tender.
Whisk together extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the balsamic vinaigrette.
Assemble the salad by layering the mixed greens, sliced strawberries, avocado, almond pieces, and grilled chicken. Drizzle with balsamic dressing.
Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and fresh mint leaves if desired.
