Strawberry Chicken Salad

Ingredients

For the dressing/marinade:

▢3 tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar

▢1 1/2 tbsp. Dijon Mustard

▢1 tbsp. Maple Syrup

▢1 tbsp. Chopped Fresh Dill Weed

▢1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder

▢1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt

▢1/4 tsp. Ground Black Pepper

▢1/4 cup Olive Oil

For the salad:

▢1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

▢Kosher salt and pepper to taste

▢1 Head Romaine roughly chopped

▢1/2 Red Onion chopped or sliced

▢1 Avocado halved, seeded, peeled and sliced

▢1 1/2 cups Strawberries quartered

▢1/3 cup Shaved Parmesan Cheese

▢1 Tbsp Avocado Oil

Instructions

Mix all the dressing/marinade ingredients to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

Season the chicken breast with some salt and pepper. Place it into a ziplock bag or an air-tight container and pour over 1/3 of the prepared marinade. Let it marinate in refrigerator at least an hour. Keep the remaining 2/3 of the dressing marinate in a separate container without touching the raw meat.

Meanwhile, roughly chop the lettuce and onion. Peel and slice avocado cut the strawberries into halves.

Next, brush the grill or a heavy-bottomed pan with avocado oil and heat over medium-high heat.

Carefully place the marinated chicken onto the preheated grill and grill until each side is nicely golden brown and marks appear, about 10-12 minutes or internal temperature reads 165 degrees F.

Once the chicken has finished cooking, remove from the grill and let sit for 5 minutes. Slice into 1-inch pieces.

For assembling, place the chopped lettuce and onion into a salad bowl. Add avocados and strawberries. Place the sliced chicken on top of the veggies.

Drizzle with the reserved dressing/marinade on top and garnish with shaved parmesan.
