Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil I used avocado oil, plus more for dressing
- 8 ounces vegan chicken I used Daring
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- salt to taste
- 1 bag salad mix
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- apple cider vinegar to taste
- 1/4 red onion sliced
- 1/4 cup vegan feta I used Follow Your Heart
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the vegan chicken and dry seasonings. Toss to coat and spread in an even layer. Cook until crispy on both sides (approx. 2-3 minutes per side).
- Meanwhile, add the salad mix to a large bowl. Drizzle on some oil, apple cider vinegar & the dijon. Toss to coat the greens. Taste and adjust the dressing if needed.
- Top the salad with the vegan chicken, feta & onions. Toss one more time and enjoy!

Notes
- If you have the time to thaw the vegan chicken before starting this recipe, it will cook even faster. But I cook the chicken from frozen all the time.
- I usually don't measure any of the spices for this recipe, so feel free to ditch the measuring spoons and just sprinkle the vegan chicken with your favorite seasonings.
- This makes 2 servings, so use a heartier green (like kale) if you are going to save the leftovers for the next day - that way it doesn't wilt.
