Grilled Chicken, Pear, and Candied Pecan Salad Recipe
Say goodbye to standard chicken salads with this incredibly delicious version that is full of texture and flavor. Tangy goat cheese, sweet cranberries, and salty and sweet pecans...each mouthful is to die for.
Heat the 1 tsp of olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Season chicken slices with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in skillet until browned on both sides, and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, and maple syrup.
Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Pour dressing over top, and toss to combine.
Divide salad evenly between 4 plates, and top each with chicken. Serve immediately.
