Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create delicious Veggie Chicken Salad Bowls:
1. Cook the Chicken: If not using pre-cooked chicken, season chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Set aside to cool.
2. Prepare the Greens: In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens.
3. Chop the Vegetables: Slice the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion. Check the chicken to see if it’s cooled, then dice or shred.
4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the greens among serving bowls. Top with diced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and avocado.
5. Add Cheese and Olives: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and sliced olives on top for an extra flavor boost.
6. Dress the Salad: Drizzle your preferred dressing over each bowl. For a lighter option, use vinaigrette instead of ranch.
7. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste and toss gently if necessary to mix.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Veggie Chicken Salad Bowls fresh for the best flavor.
