Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Season chicken

Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

2
Grill chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.

3
Prepare oranges

Peel the oranges and remove any white pith. Cut the oranges into segments, removing any seeds.

4
Prepare salad greens

Rinse the mixed salad greens and pat them dry. Place the greens in a large serving bowl.

5
Slice onion

Peel and thinly slice the red onion.

6
Toast almonds

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant.

7
Prepare dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.

8
Slice chicken

Once the chicken has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

9
Assemble salad

Arrange the sliced chicken, orange segments, sliced red onion, and toasted almonds on top of the mixed salad greens.

10
Dress and serve

Drizzle the honey-mustard dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine, if desired.
