Directions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high and wait until hot.
- Starting with a whole chicken breast, cut horizontally to form thin fillets and rub with the listed spices on both sides.
- Add oil to the hot skillet and swirl to coat the bottom, then cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
- Rinse and dry all fresh produce.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together minced shallot, oil, vinegar, Dijon, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Cut strawberries into quarters and toss them into the dressing.
- Halve the grape tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
- Trim and quarter the cucumber lengthwise, then chop into bite-sized pieces and fold into the dressing bowl.
- Strip mint leaves from their stems, mince, and add half to the dressing bowl; reserve the rest for serving.
- Tear bread into bite-sized crouton pieces.
- Return the skillet to low heat, add a touch more oil, and toast the bread pieces, stirring occasionally, until golden and toasted, 4–5 minutes; remove from heat.
- Add the croutons to the dressing bowl and toss to combine the salad.
- Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
- To serve, divide the salad onto plates and top with the sliced chicken, feta, and the remaining mint.
Two tips
- Make the dressing and chop the produce up to a few hours ahead and refrigerate.
- If you have leftovers, toss them with a little extra mint or feta just before serving for a fresh bite.
