Directions

Chicken

Step 1 complete
Heat olive oil in a large caste iron skillet over medium heat. Liberally sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken thighs, then place skin-side down into pan.
Step 2 complete
Cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, until the skin is medium golden brown and chicken is cooked all the way through. Remove from heat and allow for chicken to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving over salad. This will help the juices to stay in the chicken, so it’s super moist!

Salad

Step 3 complete
Meanwhile, combine all other salad ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.

Dressing

Step 4 complete
To make the dressing, place all ingredients into a blender and blend until creamy. Add 1 tablespoon of water, if necessary.
Step 5 complete
Gently place chicken thighs over salad, then drizzle with dressing, and for added crunch top with your favorite flavor of almonds!
