Creating a delicious Grilled Chicken Salad is simple and can be accomplished in just a few steps:

1. Prep Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season them with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, place it over medium heat.
3. Grill Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken and continue grilling for another 5-6 minutes, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
4. Prepare Salad Base: While the chicken is resting, wash and dry the salad greens thoroughly. Place them in a large bowl.
5. Add Vegetables: Toss in the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell peppers. Mix gently to combine.
6. Slice Chicken: After the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips.
7. Assemble Salad: Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the salad mixture.
8. Add Cheese: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad for added flavor.
9. Dress Salad: Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette (or your choice of dressing) over the salad. Toss gently to ensure everything is coated.
10. Serve: Divide the salad into individual bowls or serve on a large platter.

These straightforward steps ensure that your Grilled Chicken Salad is not only flavorful but also visually appealing.
