Instructions
Grill Chicken
Preheat grill to medium high.
Pat chicken dry with paper towel. Remember, there's no need to wash chicken, just remove any surface moisture.
Mix dry rub spices together in small bowl and rub all over chicken breasts.
Place chicken on clean, oiled grill until a meat thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165°F (74°C) (about 10 minutes per side).
Remove chicken from grill and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips and set aside.
Prepare Salad
Wash and prepare lettuce greens. Arrange on large platter.
Wash and slice your favourite fruits. Arrange on platter on top of lettuce greens.
Top with chicken pieces.
Sprinkle on nuts, feta and fresh herbs.
Dressing
Combine dressing ingredients in small jar. Whisk or shake vigorously to combine and serve on the side to let everyone dress their own salad.
Notes
For Extra Convenience
Use your favourite pre-mixed spice rub or bbq sauce to grill chicken.
Use leftover cooked chicken or store-bought rotisserie chicken.
Use pre-mixed salad dressing.
