Orange Chicken Salad Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

This vibrant orange chicken salad combines tender chicken with juicy orange segments, crunchy almonds, and a tangy citrus dressing for a refreshing and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 2 navel oranges, peeled and segmented
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, rice vinegar, honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and Dijon mustard to make the dressing.
3. In a large bowl, combine salad greens, orange segments, almonds, and cranberries. Add sliced chicken.
4. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of orange zest to the dressing.
• Store leftover salad and dressing separately; the salad is best eaten fresh.
