Ingredients

  • ½ -1 lb Chicken Breast or Thighs
  • 2 heads Romaine Lettuce
  • 4 slices Bacon - cooked and chopped
  • 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Cubed

Honey Mustard Chicken Marinade

  • ¼ cup Dijion Mustard
  • 2 TBSP Honey
  • ½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ½ Lemon- juiced

House Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

  • ¼ cup Dijion Mustard
  • 2 TBSP Honey
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ½ Lemon- juiced

Instructions

  • Whisk together the honey mustard marinade. In a large plastic ziplock bag or a food safe container with a lid, add your chicken and the marinade. Make sure the chicken is submerged into the marinade as much as possible. Set it aside for at least 1 hour, no longer than 24 hours.
    If needed, the chicken does not need to be defrosted, it can defrost and marinate simultaneously.
  • Heat up your grill to medium - high heat. Grill your chicken.
    Do not scrape up the chicken to flip, it will naturally release from the grill (without burning) when it's ready to flip to the other side, cook about 3 minutes on each side. Once both sides have been grilled, you can move it to a cooler area on the grill - off of direct heat. This way you can continue to cook until the internal temperature if 165F without burning the outside of the chicken about 7-9 minutes.
    Remove from the grill and let it rest about 5 minutes. Cut into bite size pieces.
  • Chop up your romaine lettuce, halve or quarter your cherry tomatoes. In a large bowl add the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, bacon, cheddar cheese and chicken.
  • In a small bowl or jar, stir together the honey mustard dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
