Honey Mustard Chicken Salad With Bacon & Avocado

I first made this recipe nearly a year ago for my birthday lunch and it was since and the dressing / marinade even more! I keep a bottle of it I want something different on my salad or meats. I actually have some chicken thighs out for dinner tonight and I'm trying to figure out what I wanted to do with them and the answer came up in my news feed with this recipe! Thanks for an amazing dish!

A popular reader favourite, this Honey Mustard Chicken Salad has been remade all over the world time and time again! A salad that’s a meal in itself, this is THE ultimate in chicken salad recipes.

Ingredients
Dressing / Marinade:

• 1/3 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons smooth and mild Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1-2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar), (OPTIONAL -- to cut through the sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• Salt to season
• 4 skinless and boneless chicken thighs or chicken breasts

For Salad:

• 1/4 cup diced bacon, trimmed of rind and fat
• 4 cups Romaine lettuce leaves, washed
• 1 cup sliced grape or cherry tomatoes
• 1 large avocado, pitted and sliced
• 1/4 cup corn kernels
• 1/4 of a red onion, sliced

Instructions

1. Whisk marinade / dressing ingredients together to combine. Pour half the marinade into a shallow dish to marinade the chicken fillets for two hours if time allows. Refrigerate the reserved untouched marinade to use as a dressing.
2. Heat a nonstick pan (or grill pan or skillet) over medium heat with about a teaspoon of oil and sear / grill chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. (Grill in batches to prevent excess water being released.) Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
