Grilled Citrus Chicken Salad Grilled Citrus Chicken Salad

A light and fruits chicken salad that can be made on the go. This salad is a reminder of summer, even when there is snow on the ground. I often make a salad like this for lunch at least a few times a week. Pick your own homemade dressing, or just squeeze a lemon or orange over for a dressing.

You Need:

  • 2 (or more for leftovers) large chicken breasts (or 4 thighs)
  • 1 orange, lime or lemon
  • Spices
  • 1 Chopped cucumber
  • 1 apple, peeled, sliced and chopped
  • 1/2 cup slice strawberries (optional)
  • 2 or more hardboiled eggs
  • lettuce or spinach for salad
  • homemade dressing of choice

 

What to do:

  1. Bake Chicken in oven for approx 1 hour (or slice and pan fry) with sliced orange, lemon or lime and spices on top (salt, pepper, cilantro, garlic, etc) or just sprinkle some lemon juice on for flavor
  2. Hard boil 2 (or more for leftovers) eggs and let cool
  3. Prepare lettuce or spinach in bowls
  4. Chop cucumber, apple and other veggies if desired and put on lettuce
  5. Prepare homemade dressing of choice (last week’s meal plan has these)
  6. When chicken is done, slice or cube and put on top of salad
  7. Top with dressing
