Ingredients

Honey Mustard Marinade

3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)

Salad

2 to 3 Romaine hearts washed and chopped
¼ pound bacon cooked and crumbled
½ cup broccoli slaw
1 avocado sliced
1 can (15 ounces) white beans drained and rinsed
½ red onion sliced (rinse after slicing to remove sharp onion flavor)
16 cherry tomatoes quartered
¼ cup roasted sunflower seeds
2 ounces crumbled goat cheese

Honey Mustard Dressing

⅓ cup mayo
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place in the bottom of a shallow dish. Set aside.
Whisk marinade ingredients together to combine. Pour over seasoned chicken. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts. Cook on each side for about 8 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and shows 165 on a digital thermometer. Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
Prepare dressing by adding all honey mustard dressing ingredients to a bowl. Whisk together until smooth and combined.
Slice chicken into strips.
Either in a large serving bowl or 4 separate individual plates, add all remaining salad ingredients. Top with sliced chicken and honey mustard dressing.
