Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cups mixed salad greens (such as spinach, arugula, and romaine)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned chicken breasts and place them on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, blueberries, feta cheese, sliced almonds, and red onion.
- Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on top of the salad. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and vibrant salad!
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture and olive oil for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Substitute grilled shrimp or tofu for the chicken to make a delicious vegetarian option.
