Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the pan.

  2. Step 2

    Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden grill marks appear and the thickest part reaches 165°F or is no longer pink inside.

  3. Step 3

    While the chicken cooks, toss the 4 cups mixed greens, 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 cup sliced mushrooms in a large bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes, then slice it. Serve the chicken over the salad and top with the 1/4 cup olive tapenade.

  5. Step 5

    Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon if you like.
