Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) paprika
- ½ teaspoon (2 g) salt
- ½ teaspoon (2 g) black pepper
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml)
- 6 cups (180 g) mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, and kale)
- 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup (75 g) cucumber, diced
- ½ cup (75 g) red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 oz (85 g) feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup (60 ml) balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- While chicken is marinating, wash and dry the salad greens. Chop vegetables (tomatoes, cucumber, onion) and set aside.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a large serving bowl, combine salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Slice the grilled chicken and arrange on top of the salad.
- Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
