Ingredient Notes

Chicken: I used boneless and low-fat chicken. It will reduce the calories and Weight Watchers points.
Olive Oil: You may use cooking spray instead of oil.
Paprika Powder: It is used to give a chili flavor. You may also use red chili pepper flakes to add a spicy taste.
Bell pepper: I used different bell peppers red, and yellow. It makes the salad more presentable.
Avocado: It gives an enriching and yummy taste. Make sure to add avocado slices before serving. If we add slices after serving, it will ruin the taste of other salad vegetables.
Lemon Juice: Replace it with citrus juice like lime, or fresh orange juice.

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees after turning it on.

Marination

  1. Cut away the extra fat from the chicken with the help of a knife.
  2. Next, add thyme, salt, oregano, black pepper, basil, chopped garlic cloves, and paprika powder in a mixing bowl.
  3. Combine well all spices with the help of a spoon.
  4. Mist the chicken breast pieces with the olive oil by using a brush.
  5. Next, coat each side of the chicken with spices. Marinate it well.
  6. Shift the marinated chicken to a baking tray. Bake it in a heated oven for 17/20 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, we will chop the vegetables.

Chopped the vegetables

  1. Cut all salad vegetables in different shapes with the help of a cooking knife.
  2. Transfer all vegetables to a mixing bowl and set aside.

Preparation of salad dressing

  1. Add salt, red wine vinegar, garlic clove, Dijon mustard, black pepper, lemon juice, and oregano in a small mixing bowl. Mix well all items.

Assembling

  1. Add the salad dressing to the chopped vegetables bowl.
  2. Combine until it merges well with vegetables. Garish over the feta cheese.
  3. Next, cut the baked marinated chicken into strips.
  4. Place chicken over the salad. The yummy salad is ready.

Tips

  1. An air fryer is also the best option for cooking chicken instead of baking it.
  2. Cut salad vegetables into clean and equal sizes.
  3. I recommend using only fresh and high-quality vegetables.
  4. Frozen vegetables will ruin the taste and flavor of salad.
  5. You may also use fresh or frozen chicken.
  6. Mix all salad items well so all flavors merge and provide enriched flavor.

 

Storage Information

Fridge: We can’t store the salad in one container. To save, place salad, salad dressing, and chicken in separate tight boxes/jars. Refrigerate it for 2/3 days.
Freezer: It’s not possible to freeze the salad. The fresh vegetables will be soggy, and the salad dressing will be separate after freezing.
