Directions

For the Chicken

In a large resealable bag, add the chicken breasts and the balsamic vinaigrette.
Seal and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least an hour or as long as 24.
When you are ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 425°F.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade…
- If grilling, place on the grill and cook on each side for 5-6 minutes.
- If baking, place on a parchment-lined baking dish and cook for 18-20 minutes.
The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. Once cooked, let cool.
Thinly slice, and set aside until you are ready to assemble the salad.
