Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 1/4 cup sliced radishes
- 1/4 cup shredded or shaved carrots
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers for grilling
- Your favorite raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the marinade for the chicken. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.
- Grill the chicken skewers for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- In a large salad bowl, toss together the mixed greens, sliced radishes, shredded carrots, and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Drizzle the raspberry balsamic dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- To serve, place a generous portion of the raspberry balsamic salad on a plate and top it with the grilled chicken skewers.
Notes
Adjust the marinating time based on your schedule, but longer marinating will result in more flavorful chicken. Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite vegetables or add a sprinkle of feta cheese for extra creaminess. For added crunch and flavor, you can also sprinkle some toasted almonds or pumpkin seeds on top of the salad. Enjoy!
