Lemon Herb Chicken & Summer Salad
One of my favorite summer activities is going to my local u-pick farm and filling up containers with all the fresh berries I can get my hands on!
I recently stocked up on fresh blueberries and although strawberries weren’t quite in season yet, my local natural foods store had a great selection.
During the hot summer months, my go-to dinner is grilling up chicken on the barbecue and pairing it with a fresh salad.
A favorite in our house is this Lemon Herb Chicken with a Summer Salad, loaded with berries. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Lemon Herb Chicken & Summer Salad
Yields: 3-4 servings
Prep Time: 15-20 minutes
Cook Time: About 25 minutes
What you’ll need:
3-4 chicken breasts
1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic herb seasoning (I use the Simply Organic brand)
Dash of salt
1 bag of Spring Lettuce Mix or Chopped Kale
Optional: about 1/2 cup broccoli salad mix (no dressing)
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
3 Tbsp cup pepitas
About 2 Tbsp dried cranberries
Raspberry Vinaigrette, to taste
What to do:
Mix the oil, lemon juice, and seasoning in a bowl
Using a basting brush, coat both sides of the chicken breasts with the marinade
Place chicken on the grill and cook, flipping over halfway through, until it has reached 165 degrees F
In a salad bowl, add lettuce and all of the salad toppings, then toss with dressing
Next time you have fresh berries on hand, give this dinner a try!
