Green Kale Salad with Chicken

  • High in fiber, protein, and vitamins A and C.

Directions

Step1

Start by preparing the chicken. Season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. In a preheated skillet, cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Set aside to cool.

Step2

While the chicken cools, prepare the kale. Wash the kale leaves thoroughly and remove the tough stems. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

Step3

In a small bowl, prepare the lemon vinaigrette by whisking together lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Step4

Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the kale leaves and use your hands to massage it into the leaves. This will help to soften the kale and enhance its flavor.

Step5

Shred or slice the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad bowl with kale.

Step6

Top the salad with sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, avocado slices, and any other desired vegetables.

Step7

Optional: sprinkle the salad with crumbled feta or grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Step8

Toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step9

Serve the Green Kale Salad with Chicken immediately and enjoy!
