Ingredients
250 grams Boneless skin-on chicken thighs
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Black pepper
80 grams Baby salad greens
2 teaspoons Extra virgin olive oil for rubbing chicken
1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil for dressing
1 tablespoon Honey
1 tablespoon Whole grain mustard
½ tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon Hot mustard (optional)
Directions
Season both sides of the chicken thighs generously with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes if time permits, or proceed immediately. This allows the seasoning to penetrate the meat more deeply.
Rinse the baby greens under cool water and spin them dry in a salad spinner or pat gently with paper towels. Set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes.
Brush the seasoned chicken thighs on both sides with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil, coating evenly.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the hot grill. Cook undisturbed for 6-8 minutes until the skin is golden brown and releases easily, then flip the chicken. Continue grilling for another 6-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when measured at the thickest part. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
While the chicken rests, prepare the dressing by whisking together the 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, and hot mustard in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Place the dried baby greens in a bowl and drizzle with half of the honey mustard dressing. Toss gently to coat, then season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the dressed greens between two serving plates and arrange the sliced chicken on top. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve immediately.
