Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (8 ounce) package mixed salad greens, or to taste
2 medium Fuji apples - peeled, cored, and chopped
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup glazed pecans
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
3 medium green onions, thinly sliced
½ cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing, or to taste

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil when the pan is hot. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes, then slice into strips.
  • Toss salad greens, apples, cranberries, pecans, Parmesan cheese, and green onions together in a large bowl until well blended. Top with chicken and serve with balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

Loved it! So refreshing and flavorful. I used rotisserie chicken to save time and it still came out great.
