Refreshing Grilled Chicken Salad Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Whisk together the dressing/marinade ingredients in a bowl or measuring cup until the ingredients are emulsified and completely combined.
• Pour half of the mixture into a large bowl and reserve the other half for the dressing. Add the chicken breasts, toss to coat, and cover. Store in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. Any longer and the lemon juice will start to break down the chicken and cause it to become mushy when cooked.
• Heat a grill pan or your grill on high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side. Don't move the chicken too soon or the grill marks will not form. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 F.
• Gather the ingredients.
• While the chicken is cooking, prep the vegetables. It's important to have them cut into bite-sized pieces for easy eating. Wash and dry the romaine and cut into bite-sized pieces as well. Lay the romaine on a large serving platter or bowl.
• Save cutting the avocado for last. Peel and slice thinly or cut into chunks.
• Place the kalamata olives in one section, the cucumbers in another, and so on. This makes for a pretty presentation and some fun, mixing the ingredients together while eating. Cover and store in the fridge until the chicken is cooked.
• Let the chicken rest for 2 to 3 minutes to let the juices absorb into the meat, then slice and place it in the center of your salad. Drizzle the dressing over the entire salad and serve immediately.
