Ingredients  

For the Chicken Strawberry Salad

  • 16 oz chicken, cut and grilled
  • 4-6 cups salad greens
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced

For the Dressing

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk Greek Yogurt

For the Strawberry Marinade

  • 1 pound strawberries, sliced about 2 cups
  • 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Season chicken with olive oil and favorite spices (I used paprika, garlic and thyme). Place chicken in baking pan and bake for 10 minutes, before turning over and baking for 15-20 more minutes, or until cooked throughout.
  3. While chicken is baking, start your marinade. Mix strawberries, coconut sugar, water and lemon juice is small pot and bring to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, until the sauce begins to thicken (about 10 minutes). Continue simmering until it gets syrupy.
  4. Lastly, prepare your salad greens. Top with avocado, goat cheese and diced strawberries. Prepare ingredients for your dressing and mix.
  5. Once chicken is done, cut chicken up and let it soak in strawberry marinade for 5-10 minutes, before decorating on salad.
  6. Top with dressing and enjoy!
