Hopefully, everyone had a great weekend! Here in the Northwest, it was a hot weekend. I got to attend a food bloggers conference and met some great bloggers and, of course, tasted some delicious food! What did you do?

It’s the first day of June, which means there is only two weeks left of school, more summer days to come, and delicious red fruit is in season. You must have seen these sweet, juicy red fruit in your supermarket! Sadly cherries are just seasonal, so enjoy them while they last!

Cherries are packed with antioxidants; they help reduce muscle pain and keep your heart healthy. This superfood can also help you sleep well. You can enjoy them just as they are, which makes a great snack, but you can also dress them up in quick chicken and cherry salad like this one. But cherries are not the only ingredient with delicious benefits. Olive oil is good for gallbladder health. It increases the production of pancreatic juices and the risk of gallstones decreases. Don’t forget the greens that make this salad a recipe: spinach. Spinach promotes healthy, glowing skin. It is low in calories but very high in nutrients and helps the brain and nervous system function.

Prep-ahead recipes are the best since it saves time day-of, especially if you’re cooking for a crowd. You can definitely prepare the chicken ahead of time and add the fruit and greens when you are ready to serve. The longer the chicken is marinating, the more flavorful it will be!

What do I need to make this recipe?

Cherries are a sweet treat in late summer, helping in exercise recovery and giving your body antioxidants!

Spinach supports your bones and helps to reduce blood sugar.

Avocado is rich in potassium, which helps to regulate fluid balance.

Feta cheese is rich in phosphorus and calcium, supporting bone health.

Pecans are filled with protien and fiber, both so beneficial to your gut!

There are just four ingredients to prep the chicken for this salad:

  • oil
  • honey
  • balsamic vinegar
  • Dijon mustard

Steps

LET’S PUT THEM TOGETHER AND MARINATE!

Sprinkle salt & pepper over the chicken.

Whisk the oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Add to chicken and marinate for 10 minutes.

NEXT, WE PUT TOGETHER THE REST OF THE SALAD:

Sear the chicken on both sides until cooked through; about 10 minutes.

On a plate, arrange spinach, cherries, feta cheese, avocado, and pecans.

Slice the chicken and add to the salad ingredients, then enjoy!
