Blackberry Chicken Salad Fresh and Flavorful Delight
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and romaine)
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
- In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- In a large salad bowl, place the mixed greens as the base. Add the sliced red onion, blackberries, and sliced chicken on top of the greens.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and sliced almonds over the assembled salad for extra flavor and crunch.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad mixture, using enough to coat all ingredients lightly. Gently toss the salad to combine all elements without squishing the blackberries.
- Divide the salad into individual serving plates or bowls and add an extra blackberry or two on top as a garnish.
