📝 Preparation Steps
1
Marinate the chicken by combining the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried thyme, and salt in a zip lock bag or non-reactive bowl. Add the chicken breast and coat both sides with the mixture. Refrigerate for ⏱️ 1 hour or as long as overnight.
red wine vinegar2 tablespoonsdried thyme1 teaspoon
2
Make the dressing in a bowl or in a mini chopper. Combine the apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, brown sugar, chopped parsley and salt. Then drizzle in the oil while whisking until the dressing has emulsified and thickened. Chill until ready to serve.
tomato paste2 tablespoonsbrown sugar1 tablespoon
3
Preheat your indoor or outdoor grill to high heat and grill the chicken breasts for about 5 to ⏱️ 8 minutes on each side until they reach the internal temperature of 165°F with an instant read thermometer. Exact timing will depend on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and allow it to cool slightly.
4
Remove the stems from the kale. Chop the romaine and kale leaves into bite sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl with the baby spinach. Top the greens with the grape tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, mangoes, and sliced almonds. Chop the warm chicken into cubes and add it to the salad. Drizzle some dressing on top and toss the salad to coat all of the ingredients lightly with dressing. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
