Ingredients
  

  • 2 thin chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cp dill pickle juice
  • 1/4 cp milk
  • 2 tsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • 16 oz container spring mix lettuce roughly chopped
  • 1 honey crisp apple diced
  • 1/3 cp blueberries
  • 1/3 cp strawberries sliced
  • 1/3 cp bleu cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cp granola
  • 1/3 cp walnuts roughly chopped
  • Walden Farms Honey Dijion salad dressing

Instructions
 

  • Start with marinating the chicken. In a large ziploc baggie, combine the pickle juice and milk. Add in the chicken breasts, seal and set aside. Let marinade for 30 minutes.
    While the chicken is marinating, make the seasonings mixture. Combine the powdered sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and lemon pepper seasoning. Set aside.
    Begin assembling the salad in a large bowl. Start by roughly chopping the lettuce. Chop up the apple and strawberries. Add in the blueberries, crumbled bleu cheese and granola. Top the salad with the roughly chopped walnuts. Toss the salad until everything is mixed well.
    After 30 minutes of marinating, remove the chicken from the baggie and place on a plate. Dab the chicken with a paper towel to remove excess liquid. Sprinkle one side with the seasonings mixture. Place seasoned side down in your air fryer, sprinkle the rest of the seasonings mixture on to the other side of the chicken. Cook the chicken at 390F for 10 minutes. Flip and cook another 10 minutes.
    Once the chicken has cooked, thinly slice.
    Plate your mixed salad and place the thinly sliced chicken on top.
    Dress your salad with Walden Farms honey dijion salad dressing and enjoy!
