This recipe is perfect for those who are looking to enjoy a lighter meal while still savoring the rich taste of grilled chicken and fresh vegetables.
Instructions:
- Slice the onion and green pepper into thin strips.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- Dice the tomato.
- Heat 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tbsp of olive oil.
- Add the sliced onions, green peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet.
- Sauté the vegetables over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Arrange the chopped lettuce on a large plate or in a salad bowl.
- Top the lettuce with the sautéed vegetables.
- Add the sliced chicken on top of the vegetables.
- Distribute the diced tomato evenly over the salad.
- Add an additional dash of salt and black pepper to taste, if desired.
- Drizzle with a bit more olive oil if you prefer.
- Serve the salad immediately while the chicken and veggies are still warm.
Tips:
- For even cooking, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips before grilling.
- To enhance the flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Use a grill pan to evenly cook the chicken and vegetables, giving them a nice char without overcooking.
- Make sure to cut the veggies into uniform sizes to ensure they cook evenly.
- For added texture, consider adding some raw bell pepper slices or a handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to the salad.
- Drizzle additional olive oil or your favorite vinaigrette dressing over the salad before serving for extra flavor.
