Being on a diet, almost anything with chicken and salad, you can’t go wrong.
Grilled Chicken Salad with Honey Ginger Dressing recipe serves 4
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1-2 pounds)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
8 cups mesclun salad greens (7 ounces)
1 ripe mango, peeled and cute into bite-size cubes
salt and pepper for taste
Cooking Tip: While the chicken is grilling, cut the mango and make the honey-ginger dressing.
Chicken Directions
Heat a grill pan (or grill) over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the chicken smooth side down on the grill and cook until edges turn opaque, about 6 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook until firm to touch, about 6 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest for about 5 minutes.
Dressing Directions
Combine the lemon juice, honey, and ginger in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil (4 tablespoons). First start with a few drops and then add the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.
Salad Directions
To put the salad together, slice or shred the chicken into pieces and add it to the greens along with the mango and dressing. Toss and divide the salad among 4 large plates and serve.
Cooking Tip: This is an excellent appetizer or side dish. Especially if you want to make the same recipe for 6-8 people. The salad portions will be smaller and a nice taste for a main course.
