Original Recipe Yield 2 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 12 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and sliced
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives

Directions

  1. Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of chicken with Cajun seasoning, and place in hot oil. Stir in crushed garlic. Cook chicken 5 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Remove chicken from skillet, drain on paper towels, cool slightly, and dice; discard oil and garlic.
  2. In a small bowl, mix remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, gently toss the dressing with the mixed salad greens, arugula, avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives. Top with diced chicken to serve.
