Honey Mustard Chicken Salad

}
30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup whole grain Dijon mustard
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 head romaine, roughly chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups quartered strawberries
  • 1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup corn kernels, canned or roasted

Instructions

 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon, green onions, olive oil, honey and vinegar; season with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside 1/3 of the mixture. Place remaining 2/3 of the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  2. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken and reserved Dijon mixture; marinate and mix around for a few minutes. For a stronger flavor, you can marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours (but it’s not necessary!)
  3. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  4. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
  5. To assemble the salad, place romaine lettuce in a large bowl; top with chicken, bacon, strawberries, avocado and corn. Pour the Dijon dressing on top of the salad and gently toss to combine.
  6. Serve immediately.
