Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 10 cups spring mix (425 grams)
  • 1 1/2 cups cherries, pitted and halved (206 grams)
  • 1 cup blueberries (73 grams)
  • 1/2 cup Wegmans Pomegranate Blueberry Vinaigrette (4 fl oz)
  • 1/2 cup mild goat cheese, crumbled (56 grams)
  • 1/3 cup red onion, sliced (48 grams)
  • 1/2 cup Salad Pizazz! Honey Roasted Sliced Almonds (56 grams)

Juicy Grilled or Air Fryer Chicken

  • 1 lb raw chicken breast
  • 3 tbsp homemade brine mix
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Oh My Spice! Lemon Pepper Dill Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Juicy Grilled or Air Fryer Chicken

  • Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add 3 tbsp homemade brine mix and stir until dissolved. Pour over ice in a flat bottomed resealable container. Add 1 lb raw chicken breast, then add additional water until chicken is submerged. Brine for at least 5 hours or up to 12 hours.
  • Remove chicken from brine and rinse with cold water. Pat dry on a paper towel, then pound down the thicker end of the chicken breast until they are even thickness across.
  • Rub the chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 tsp chili powder, and 1 tsp Oh My Spice! Lemon Pepper Dill Seasoning.
  • Air fry the chicken at 380°F for 11 minutes, flipping halfway through (sometimes I up the temp to 390° after flipping the chicken for crispier edges). Set aside to cool for about 5 mintes before slicing.

Assemble

  • Divide 10 cups spring mix, 1 1/2 cups cherries, pitted and halved, 1 cup blueberries, chicken, 1/2 cup mild goat cheese, crumbled, and 1/3 cup red onion, sliced into 4 serving dishes. Top with 1/2 cup Wegmans Pomegranate Blueberry Vinaigrette and 1/2 cup Salad Pizazz! Honey Roasted Sliced Almonds before serving.
