Description
This salad has double the honey mustard flavor — it uses a simple, 3-ingredient mix of honey, mustard, and olive oil to make a tasty salad dressing that doubles as a marinade for the chicken.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 - 8 cups romaine lettuce
- 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup corn (canned or fresh)
- ½ cup sliced red onion
Dressing & Marinade:
- ⅔ cup whole grain dijon
- ⅔ cup olive oil
- 6 tablespoons honey
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make the dressing/marinade: in a small bowl, mix together the dijon, olive oil, honey, salt & pepper. Set aside half of the mixture to use as dressing.
- Marinate the chicken: use the remaining half to marinate the chicken breasts in an airtight container in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or longer (up to 8 hours) if possible.
- Cook the chicken: heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook, covered, 5 - 6 minutes on each side. The chicken should be cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
- Mix: add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing on top and toss to mix. Enjoy!
