Ingredients

3

250 grams Chicken Breasts

200 grams Mushrooms

100 grams Red Bell Peppers

100 grams Yellow bell peppers

100 grams Lettuce

45 ml Olive Oil

15 ml Balsamic vinegar

Tips

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas.

You can add other vegetables like sliced cucumbers or carrots for more variety and crunch.

The salad can be prepped in advance, but add the dressing just before serving to keep the lettuce crisp.

Directions

Heat 15 mL of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Let it cool, then slice thinly.

In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, cooked chicken, sautéed mushrooms, and sliced bell peppers.

Whisk together the remaining 30 mL of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
