Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets
- 5 ounces (1 container) mixed baby greens
- 1 avocado sliced
- 2 oranges sliced
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Maple Citrus Dressing
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ cup avocado or other neutral-flavored oil
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice
- ¼ cup fresh lemon or lime juice (or a mixture of both)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- To make the dressing, blend the maple syrup, oil, orange juice, lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper together in a blender until smooth.
- Pour about ¼ cup of the dressing into a resealable plastic bag and add the chicken. Marinate the chicken for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat and spray with cooking spray. Grill the chicken, 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Notes
This recipe makes a little more than 1 cup of dressing. Refrigerate any remaining dressing and use within 1 week. It can be used as a dressing on salad or as a marinade for meat or vegetables.
