Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 oz goat cheese, chilled and sliced into rounds
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Oil for frying
  • 6 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, and minced garlic. Marinate chicken breasts in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge goat cheese slices in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry goat cheese slices until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Grill marinated chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and grill marks appear. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  4. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. In a large salad bowl, toss together mixed greens, blackberries, raspberries, sliced avocado, chopped walnuts, and thinly sliced red onion. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Divide salad onto serving plates. Top each with sliced grilled chicken and crispy fried goat cheese rounds.
