Print Recipe

A deliciously refreshing Honey Mustard Chicken Salad, perfect for picnics and weekday lunches, offering a delightful balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ – 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Pinch of ground black pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce (chopped)
  • 1 ½ cups blueberries
  • 1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 cup crumbled bacon
  • ½ cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the yogurt, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss in the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Grill or Pan: If you have a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a splash of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill or sauté for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  4. Cool and Slice: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest. Slice into strips or cubes.
  5. Build the Salad Base: In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine lettuce with the blueberries, dried cranberries, and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
  6. Add Chicken and Crunch: Sprinkle the sliced chicken on top, then add the slivered almonds and crumbled bacon.
  7. Dress it Up: Drizzle extra honey mustard dressing on top or serve it on the side.

Notes

Mix the dressing to your liking and feel free to adapt the recipe with seasonal fruits and veggies.
