"This Spinach Chicken Strawberry Salad is the perfect blend of fruity, sweet, and savory. Filled with strawberry marinated chicken, this summer salad recipe is the perfect way to eat healthy in season, topped with a refreshing, creamy honey lime salad dressing. I love baking my chicken for this recipe because it produces a juicier vs. drier chicken breast! My favorite things to pair with this summer salad are; Hummus pasta salad, Kabobs made in the oven, Sweet potato turkey burgers, and a Strawberry fizz cocktail."

Cooking MethodGrilling, Oven

Ingredients

16 ounces Chicken, cut and grilled
5 cups Salad greens
1 Avocado, sliced
1 cup Goat cheese
1 cup Strawberries, sliced
1 tablespoon Olive oil
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
1 tablespoon Lime juice
2 tablespoons Honey
1 cup Whole milk green yogurt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
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.
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.
Lastly, prepare your salad greens. Top with avocado, goat cheese and diced strawberries. Prepare ingredients for your dressing and mix.
Once chicken is done, cut chicken up and let it soak in strawberry marinade for 5-10 minutes, before decorating on salad.
Top with dressing and enjoy!
