Description
Delicious grilled chicken salad topped with a refreshing citrus dressing and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1/4 cup mixed fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, basil)

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine citrus juices, olive oil, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and cook each breast for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.

- Create the Dressing: Whisk together reserved marinade with honey and extra olive oil until well combined.
- Assemble Your Salad Bowl: Slice cooked chicken and arrange it over mixed greens. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to combine.
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate your salad bowls with extra fresh herbs on top.
Notes
- Chop additional vegetables like cucumbers or tomatoes to enhance the salad.
- For added flavor, let the chicken marinate longer if time allows.
