Ingredients
For the Dressing/Marinade:
- ½ cup Dijon mustard
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Salad:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 slices Bacon chopped
- 6 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup Cherry or grape tomatoes halved
- 1 avocado sliced
- ¼ cup diced red onion
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together until combined.
- Add ⅓ of the mixture to a Ziplock bag and place the rest in the refrigerator for serving.
- Slice the chicken breasts in half into cutlets. You should have four total. Season both sides with salt and pepper
- Add the chicken to the Ziplock with the marinade. Seal the top and toss to coat in the marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours. If you don’t have the time, let it marinate while you prep the salad ingredients!
- Heat your grill,or grill pan to medium-high.
- Grill the chicken on both sides until cooked through. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- When the chicken is cool enough to handle, slice it into strips.
- While the chicken is cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess fat.
- To assemble, divide the greens between bowls. Top with chicken, bacon, tomatoes, avocado and red onion. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and serve.
