Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to high and your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the egg whites, stevia, and cinnamon. Add the pecans and stir until well-coated.
  3. Place the pecans on a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, until toasted. Set aside.

  6. Dice the red onion and roughly chop the avocado.
  7. Divide the onion, avocado, and feta cheese between each plate.
  8. Break the pecans into small pieces and also divide between the plates.
  9. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, and salt into a dressing. Set aside
  10. Once your chicken is cooked, slice it against the grain and place a breast on top of each salad.
  11. Drizzle with dressing and enjoy.
