Ingredients
for the salad
- 12 ounces chicken breast
- 4 cups salad greens spinach or spring mix, arugula, romaine, etc.
- 1 medium mango
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
- 2 oz goat cheese crumbled
- 1 small ripe avocado; pitted fleshed and sliced or chopped

Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Heat cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once pan is hot, add about 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Trim any extra fat off chicken breast and pound as needed to create even thickness. Season chicken with salt & pepper; cook on one side for 3-4 minutes before flipping to other side and cooking through. Cook until middle is no longer pink or internal temperature is 165ºF. Place on cutting board and slice chicken. (Or use outdoor grill.)
- Prepare the salad: In large bowl add greens, diced mango, sliced strawberries and sliced onions. Toss with tongs to mix salad together well.
- Make the dressing: add all ingredients *except poppy seeds* into small blender or food processor. Process until smooth, then stir in poppy seeds.
- Portion out salad for desired servings; adding grilled chicken and top with avocado, goat cheese, sliced almonds. Drizzle with lime poppy seed dressing and enjoy!
