Chicken breast salad with fruit

This nice recipe for grilled chicken breast salad with fruit/veggies I have yet to try, but it looks great and easy to prepare. You can whatever fruit or vegetable you like to the salad - I am gonna try it with lemon or orange, but feel free to add strawberries or any kind of berries, tomatoes, or pepper.


Ingredients

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/2 cup pecans

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

1 cup olive oil

1/2 onion, minced

1 teaspoon ground mustard

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

2 heads Bibb lettuce - rinsed, dried and torn

fresh fruit/veggies of choice


  1. Preheat the grill for high heat.
  2. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill chicken 8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Remove from heat, cool, and slice.
  3. Meanwhile, place pecans in a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pecans until fragrant, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  4. In a blender, combine the red wine vinegar, sugar, vegetable oil, onion, mustard, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth.
  5. Arrange lettuce on serving plates. Top with grilled chicken slices, strawberries, and pecans. Drizzle with the dressing to serve.

Chicken breast

Basis of every bodybuilder's diet, chicken breast is an excellent source of proteins. It contains about 150 calories, 30g of protein, and only 4g of fat per 100g. Most simple and faster way to prepare this meal is to just roast it on a pan - and with certain spices, it can taste pretty good. However, a lot of people prefer to marinade the meat, or to add various sauces - there are hundreds, maybe even thousands options as how to prepare your chicken. I usually like it with rice or potatoes.

Here are some recipes of my favourite preparations:
