INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 cups Mixed Salad Greens
5 Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Diced Cucumber
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1/4 medium Red Onion, thinly sliced
1 small Carrot (crisped strips)
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 portion Avocado (sliced)
1 clove Fresh Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Mixed Herbs
PREPARATION
Start by marinating the chicken breast: combine minced garlic and chopped fresh herbs with a teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken evenly and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Allow the chicken to rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the vegetables. In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped red bell pepper, and thinly sliced red onion.
Lightly toss the small carrot (cut into crisp strips) in a teaspoon of olive oil and quickly sauté in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes to bring out a slight crispness without softening too much.
Add the grilled chicken slices and crispy carrot strips to the salad bowl. Gently fold in the avocado slices.
Drizzle any remaining olive oil over the salad, sprinkle with additional fresh herbs if desired, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, enjoying the balance of succulent, herb-infused chicken with crunchy, fresh vegetables.
