Ingredients

Scale

For the Grilled Chicken:

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Salad:

  • 2 cups mixed greens or sprouts
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, thick-sliced
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives or green onions
  • Optional: roasted corn kernels, sunflower seeds

For the Honey Mustard Dressing:

  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Grill chicken for 6–8 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
  4. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, feta, chives, and any optional toppings.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss gently. Top with sliced grilled chicken before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken for a shortcut.
  • Swap feta with goat cheese or omit for dairy-free.
  • Try it with avocado, bell peppers, or red onion for extra texture.
  • Dressing keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days—shake before using!
