Strawberry Salad with Balsamic Glazed Chicken

I've turned over a new leaf. I'm trying to plan my meals ahead, and 2 weeks into the ordeal plan I've mixed up the meals a bit and am feeling more organized. One of last week's recipes was Strawberry Salad with Balsamic Glazed Chicken. This was actually 2 different recipes melded into one. So, here we go!

Strawberry Salad with Balsamic Glazed Chicken

Let's begin with assembling the Strawberry Salad:

Mixed greens
Cucumber slices
Pecans
Strawberries, halved
Blueberries
Feta

This salad is fantastic as is! See?



To step it up a notch, we can make our own Strawberry Dressing:


1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1 tsp. mustard
2 T. balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Puree strawberries in a food processor. Add vinegar, mustard, and seasonings. Blend, then add olive oil. Blend until creamy. Yum!

Now, let's turn this salad into a meal by adding some Balsamic Chicken:

Marinate boneless chicken breasts in 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 3 T. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper for 1 hour. Grill as usual.

You end up with this:
