Ingredients

grilled chicken breast

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil - or olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning spice
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

chopped salad

  • 3-4 cups chopped lettuce - I used butter, but any lettuce will do
  • 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped prosciutto
  • 1/2 cup chopped salami
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 1/3 cup olives, halved
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning spice

balsamic dressing

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil - or evoo
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar - make sure sulfite free for whole30
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning spice

Instructions

chicken breast

  • To a small bowl, add chicken, oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. To a grill pan or skillet, heat on medium heat. Once hot, add chicken breast, grill for about 6-8 minutes, and flip, cooking for 4-5 more minutes, depending on thickness (should be 165F). Remove from heat, and transfer to a cutting board. Cool and chop.

chopped salad

  • While chicken breast is grilling, chop veggies and other toppings. Add to a bowl, and toss with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Once chicken cools, add to salad bowl.

balsamic dressing

  • Whisk all ingredients together. Pour over salad and enjoy. If making salad in advance, wait to toss dressing until ready to serve.

Notes

If you want to switch it up the dressing: a red wine vinaigrette or my Dijon vinaigrette would also work here. And if you’re craving something a little richer, the creamy dressing from my Portillo’s chopped salad is always a good idea.
