Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: Makes 10 to 12 tenders, 4 cups salad
Ingredients
for the marinade/dressing
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
for the salad
1 package (7 ounces) or about 4 cups mixed salad greens
1 zucchini, cut into thin ribbons with vegetable peeler
1 yellow zucchini, cut into thin ribbons with vegetable peeler
Directions
• In medium bowl, whisk together the marinade/dressing ingredients. Reserve half of mixture for dressing.
• Use remaining mixture for marinade. Place chicken tenders and marinade in a shallow dish or plastic zip-seal bag; marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• Prepare grill. Remove chicken tenders from marinade container; discard any leftover marinade. Grill over medium hot coals for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Tenders can also be sautéed in a large skillet over medium high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until browned. In either case, chicken should be fork tender with no hint of pink in the meat.
• In large bowl, toss all salad ingredients except the chicken tenders with the marinade/dressing. Top with chicken tenders.
