Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.

- Add the cooked chicken strips on top of the salad.
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese over the salad.
- Add 1 tbsp of flaxseed for an extra crunch and added nutrients.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil over the salad.
- Toss everything together gently to ensure the olive oil, cheese, and flaxseed are evenly distributed.
- Serve the salad immediately as a light, nutritious meal.
Tips:
- Preheat your grill or skillet before cooking the chicken breasts to ensure they cook evenly and have a nice sear.
- To preserve the freshness and crispness of the lettuce, wash and dry it thoroughly before adding it to the salad.
- Feel free to customize the salad by adding your favorite fresh herbs or a splash of lemon juice for extra flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the vegetables thinly, which will make the salad easier to eat and improve its texture.
- Toss the salad just before serving to keep the greens from getting soggy.
