Provided by Lelandra

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons smooth and mild Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
salt (to season)
4 skinless and boneless chicken thighs or 4 chicken breasts
1/4 cup diced bacon, trimmed of rind and fat
4 cups romaine lettuce leaves, washed
1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
1 large avocado, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup corn kernel
1/4 of a red onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Whisk marinade / dressing ingredients together to combine. Pour half the marinade into a shallow dish to marinade the chicken fillets for two hours if time allows. Refrigerate the reserved untouched marinade to use as a dressing.
  • Heat a nonstick pan (or grill pan or skillet) over medium heat with about a teaspoon of oil and sear / grill chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. (Grill in batches to prevent excess water being released.) Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
  • Wipe pan over with paper towel; drizzle with another teaspoon of oil and fry the bacon until crispy.
  • Slice chicken into strips and prepare salad with leaves, tomatoes, avocado slices, corn, onion strips and chicken.
  • Whisk 2 tablespoons of water into the remaining untouched marinade / dressing and drizzle over the salad. Sprinkle the bacon over the top and season with a little extra salt and cracked pepper (optional).

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked bacon or chicken. You can also use rotisserie chicken.
  • If you don't have avocado oil, you can use another type of neutral oil, such as canola or vegetable oil.
  • If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use yellow mustard or brown mustard.
  • To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • To make the salad more hearty, add some cooked quinoa, rice, or pasta.
  • For a vegetarian version of the salad, omit the chicken and bacon and add some extra vegetables, such as roasted sweet potatoes or zucchini.

Conclusion:

This honey mustard chicken, bacon, and avocado salad is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. The combination of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that is both delicious and satisfying.
