Enjoy a refreshing and nutritious meal option with the Best Honey Mustard Chicken Salad, a delicious blend of tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and a sweet-tangy honey mustard dressing, perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons smooth dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • A pinch of salt for seasoning
  • 4 cups of cleaned romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 large avocado, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup corn kernels
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat a cooking pot or skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and cook them until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, around 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let them rest before slicing.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, whole grain mustard, smooth dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and salt. Whisk until well blended to form a smooth dressing.
  3. Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. In the same mixing bowl with the dressing, add chopped turkey bacon, romaine lettuce leaves, halved grape tomatoes, avocado slices, corn kernels, and thinly sliced red onion. Gently toss everything together until well coated with the dressing.
  4. Divide the salad among four plates or bowls. Enjoy your fresh Best Honey Mustard Chicken Salad immediately!
