Balsamic Chicken Salad

Balsamic glazed chicken makes this fresh salad so hearty and delicious! It's ready in 20 minutes, and low in carbs.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1" strips (24 ounces))
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 6 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 8 cups romaine lettuce (or other salad greens)
• 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 2 Tbsp feta cheese
• 2 Tbsp fresh minced basil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Saute the chicken in the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat till juices run clear. It takes about 3 minutes per side. You want to leave plenty of space between the chicken, so cook in 2 batches if your skillet is small.
2. 2Add the garlic during the last minute of cooking. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. 3Turn the heat down to low and add the vinegar, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Whisk till thoroughly combined. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir to coat. Sprinkle chopped basil over the top.
4. 4Divide the chopped lettuce between 4 plates. Top with glazed chicken, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Drizzle any remaining balsamic vinegar mixture in the skillet over each salad.
