Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

  4. 4

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

  6. 6

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
