Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1 head of romaine lettuce
- 1 roasted red pepper sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 cup low-fat or fat-free feta cheese
- 1/4 of a small red onion diced
Dressing:
- 1/2 a small avocado
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic minced
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to high and your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the chicken on your grill and the sliced almonds in the oven. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, flipping once. Roast the almonds for about 5 minutes, keeping a close watch so they don't burn.
- In the meantime, add the avocado, olive oil, white wine, balsamic vinegar, and garlic to a small food processor. Process until creamy and well combined.
- Divide the lettuce, roasted red pepper, feta cheese, and red onion evenly between two plates. Top with the grilled chicken and sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
- Top with the avocado dressing and enjoy!
