Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts and the marinade ingredients in a resealable bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let the chicken marinade for 30-60 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, prep the salad ingredients and make the vinaigrette. Add all of the vinaigrette ingredients to a jar with a lid or measuring glass. Shake or whisk the vinaigrette until combined.
  3. Preheat grill to 400° F. Oil the grates and place the chicken on them. Grill for 6-7 minutes then flip and grill another 5-6 minutes depending on the thickness. Chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature is 165° F. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it.
  4. Add the mixed greens to a large bowl or serving platter. Top the greens with the sliced strawberries and chicken, crumbled goat cheese and toasted almonds. Serve the salad topped with the balsamic vinaigrette or on the side.
