One of my favorite salad recipes 🥰

Blackberry balsamic grilled chicken salad with crispy fried goat cheese

Ingredients:

For the Grilled Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon minced garlic
For the Crispy Fried Goat Cheese:

4 oz goat cheese, chilled and sliced into rounds
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
Oil for frying
For the Salad:

6 cups mixed greens (such as spinach, arugula, and/or spring mix)
1 cup blackberries
1 cup raspberries
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
For the Balsamic Vinaigrette:

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, and minced garlic. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the crispy fried goat cheese. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each slice of goat cheese in flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the coated goat cheese slices until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have grill marks. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them thinly.

To make the balsamic vinaigrette, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

In a large salad bowl, combine mixed greens, blackberries, raspberries, sliced avocado, chopped walnuts, and thinly sliced red onion.

Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Divide the salad onto serving plates, top each portion with sliced grilled chicken, and garnish with crispy fried goat cheese rounds.

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful blackberry balsamic grilled chicken salad with crispy fried goat cheese, avocado, walnut, onion, blackberry, raspberry, and greens!

This salad is bursting with fresh flavors and textures, making it a perfect light and satisfying meal. Enjoy!

It's okay to have bad days, it's okay to have rest days.

I was having a flare today, so bed rest it is. 🩷 I'll pick back up tomorrow.

I'm planning to start this page up again to offer advice and just be accountable to myself with my health.

I'll be documenting my workouts and diet. I would love if others would follow and share their journeys too! Health is hard when you have chronic illness and we need to stick together.

So here's a photo of me after my workout last night, frizzy hair and all 🤣

wow!

Do You Know What's Really In Your Tea?

This is so me!
