Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Salad:

  • 6 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, romaine, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

For the Chicken:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove chicken from the marinade and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  3. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

For the Salad:

  1. In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  3. Arrange the sliced chicken over the salad, drizzle with the dressing, and top with crumbled feta (if using).

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for extra time for even more flavor.
  • Swap out vegetables or add extras like bell peppers, olives, or nuts for more texture and flavor.
