Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsp hot honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Optional: sliced scallions, toasted pecans

Method
 

  1. Whisk the hot honey, 1 tbsp olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high, add chicken, and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and 165°F (74°C). Brush half the dressing over chicken during the last 2 minutes.
  3. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, rest 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.
  4. Toss greens, tomatoes, avocado, and feta with remaining dressing. Top with sliced chicken and serve immediately.

Notes

Hot honey can be store-bought or made by stirring a pinch of red pepper flakes and a dash of hot sauce into 3 tablespoons of honey. Letting the chicken rest after cooking keeps it juicy when you slice it.
