Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 8 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Directions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the halved strawberries on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the strawberries are soft and slightly caramelized.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted strawberries, remaining extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens with the roasted strawberry balsamic dressing.
- Divide the dressed greens among serving plates. Top with grilled chicken slices, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted sliced almonds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious Strawberry Feta Chicken Salad!
