Ingredients
serves 1
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup mixed greens
- 1/2 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon low salt balsamic vinaigrette (or substitute with fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil)
serves 2
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cup mixed greens
- 1.5 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
- 3/4 cup sliced cucumber
- 3/4 cup sliced red onion
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoon low salt balsamic vinaigrette (or substitute with fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breast with black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
- Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad. In a bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
- Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and a low salt balsamic vinaigrette or fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil.
- Serve the warm chicken with the salad and enjoy.
