Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken Salad Recipe

I love the taste of sweet and spicy together, and this is a recipe I’ve been wanting to try for awhile.

Makes enough chicken for 4 single-serving salads.

Chicken Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts, frozen, skinless, boneless
1 T vegetable oil
0.3 cup honey
2 T coconut aminos (soy sauce can be replaced)
1 T chipotle hot sauce (or hot sauce of your choice)
3 fresh garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 t sea salt

Chicken Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix ingredients together in the bottom of a large 9×13 baking dish. Tip: I measure the 1 tablespoon of oil into the 1/3 cup measuring cup first, and then measure the honey, the oil makes it slide out of the cup easily.
  3. Place frozen chicken breast in the sauce and cover both sides of the chicken breast.
  4. Cover pan in foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove pan from oven, flip chicken, recover with foil, and bake for another 30 minutes or till cooked through, using a meat thermometer to check.

Salad Ingredients:

1-2 cup mixed spring greens & spinach
1-2 slim red onion sliced strips
2 sweet baby bell peppers sliced in thin strips
1 thinly sliced baked honey garlic chicken breast
0.25 c pumpkin seeds
30 g macedonian soft feta cheese
4 peppercinos, sliced

Salad Dressing Ingredients:

0.5 T olive oil
0.5 T lemon juice
0.5 T honey
0.5 T coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
1 t chipotle hot sauce
Pinch of sea salt

Salad Assembly:

  • Mix salad dressing ingredients in a mug and whisk with a fork. Warm in microwave for 10 seconds, whisk till honey is combined.
  • Layer salad ingredients in a large bowl, drizzle with salad dressing.
  • Enjoy!
