Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved red grapes, diced green apple, chopped walnuts, and crumbled blue cheese.

Step 4

In a smaller bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.

Step 5

Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 6

Divide the salad onto plates or a large serving dish. Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the salad.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy a fresh, gourmet chicken salad!
