Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 0.5 cup pecans
• 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons raspberry preserves
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking. Rub both sides with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73.8°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

While the chicken rests, prepare the salad base. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, raspberries, crumbled feta, pecans, and thinly sliced red onion.

Step 5

To make the raspberry vinaigrette, whisk together the raspberry preserves, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl until well blended. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl. Drizzle the raspberry vinaigrette over the top and gently toss to combine.

Step 7

Divide the salad among plates or bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Raspberry Chicken Salad!
