Lemon Pepper Chicken Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Season the chicken breast with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and the juice of the lemon. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3. 3

   While the chicken is marinating, wash and chop the salad greens, tomatoes, carrots, and green onions. Place them in a large salad bowl.

4. 4

   Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

5. 5

   Add the grilled chicken strips to the salad bowl with the vegetables.

6. 6

   Drizzle olive oil over the salad and add the remaining lemon juice. Sprinkle with additional black pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Toss everything together until the salad is well coated with the dressing.

8. 8

   Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

9. 9

   Serve the lemon pepper chicken salad immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing cold salad.
