Ingredients
Honey Mustard Marinade/Dressing
- ⅓ cup (113 g) honey
- 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, or chicken thighs
Salad
- 4 lices thick-cut bacon, diced
- 6 cups (282 g) Romaine lettuce leaves, washed, roughly chopped
- 1 cup (149 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ large avocado, pitted and sliced (can use all if you prefer)
- ¼ cup (41 g) corn kernels
- ½ medium red onion, sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine honey, whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and garlic. Transfer half of the dressing to a clean bowl and refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
- To a large bowl, add chicken. Pour the remaining dressing over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (an hour works, overnight is better)
- When ready, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add chicken. Cook one side of the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes. Then, flip the chicken and cover the skillet. Cook for about 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean plate and tent with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes. After resting, slice into strips.
- While the chicken is resting, carefully wipe the skillet mostly clean. Return it to the stove over medium heat.
- Add diced bacon. Cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
Assembly
- Assemble the salad by plating the lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, corn, and red onion. Top with the chicken strips and bacon.
- Drizzle the salad with reserved dressing. Serve immediately.
