Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
4 wooden skewers, soaked in water
4 cups mixed salad greens
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cucumber, sliced

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette (or dressing of choice)

2
Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers.
3
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for about 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
4
While the chicken rests for 5 minutes, arrange the salad greens, red onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese in a serving bowl.
5
Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette, then place the smoky chicken skewers on top.

If planning a larger spread, this pairs beautifully with a side of grilled vegetables or a refreshing Resep Salad.

And if feta isn’t preferred, swap it for goat cheese or leave it out entirely—this salad is endlessly adaptable.
