Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Season chicken
Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
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.
Prepare oranges
Peel the oranges and remove any white pith. Cut the oranges into segments, removing any seeds.
Prepare salad greens
Rinse the mixed salad greens and pat them dry. Place the greens in a large serving bowl.
Slice onion
Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
Toast almonds
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant.
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.
Slice chicken
Once the chicken has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.
Assemble salad
Arrange the sliced chicken, orange segments, sliced red onion, and toasted almonds on top of the mixed salad greens.
Dress and serve
Drizzle the honey-mustard dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine, if desired.
