Chicken & Blueberry Salad

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lbs chicken breasts or thighs skinless and boneless
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tsps Italian seasoning
  • 2 Tbsps olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 English cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup pecans roughly chopped

Blueberry dressing:

  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup high quality balsamic vinegar
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 2 Tbsps raw honey
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Season your chicken with sea salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on all sides.
  • Drizzle with the oil and rub on all sides.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Spritz grill with a bit of avocado oil to prevent sticking.
  • Grill your chicken until grill marks appear and the internal temperature reads 165 degrees f. so you know it's cooked through.
  • Allow your grilled chicken to sit on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing it.
  • Meanwhile, place the dressing ingredients into a food processor or high speed blender and pulse until very smooth.
  • Prepare the veggies for the salad and add them to a large salad bowl as shown.
  • Top with your chicken and drizzle with dressing as desired.
  • Toss to combine and serve!
  • Enjoy!
