Chicken and Zucchini Salad

  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold press extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/4 pounds zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 bunch spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • Sea salt and ground pepper to taste

In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.

Add zucchini; toss to coat, and let marinate while cooking chicken.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken until golden brown and opaque throughout, about 7 minutes per side.

Remove from skillet, and slice thinly.

Toss chicken with zucchini mixture, spinach, scallions, pecans, and mint. Serve.
