Caprese Chicken Salad
{ Asparagus is in Season! ?? }
#asparagusrecipes
Makes 3-4 servings
Ingredients:
1 pound chicken breasts (about 2 large halved to make 4 fillets)
16-24 oz. mixed baby greens/spinach leaves
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
6 oz mozzarella pearls
8 oz fresh asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into halves on diagonal
Balsamic Dressing:
3/4 cup quality balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp honey
1/2 tsp prepared Dijon mustard
sea salt and pepper to taste
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken with 2 Tbsp of olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika.
Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, grill the asparagus for 3-4 minutes depending on thickness…keeping it crisp.
To make the Balsamic Dressing, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan, then reduce the heat to a
simmer, stirring often. Cook until reduced in volume by half, about 8 minutes and just thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Whisk in remaining dressing ingredients.
Toss spinach, asparagus, tomatoes and mozzarella in a large
bowl. Top with chicken and drizzle with balsamic dressing.
Enjoy!
