Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Balsamic Chicken Salad Bowl.
Step 1
Start by taking a bowl and mixing one-third of your balsamic vinaigrette dressing with the chicken tenders, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 2
In another bowl, toss the sliced mushrooms with another third of the dressing, allowing them to soak up those delicious flavors.
Step 3
Set aside the remaining dressing for later use.
Step 4
Let the chicken and mushrooms marinate for at least 30 minutes; this step is key to infusing them with rich taste.
Step 5
While they’re marinating, preheat your oven's broiler and adjust the rack so it’s about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 6
Once the marinating time is up, take the chicken tenders and mushrooms out of their bowls, letting any excess marinade drip off.
Step 7
Place them under the broiler for about 5 to 8 minutes, keeping an eye on them until the chicken is beautifully browned and cooked through.
Step 8
When they’re ready, remove them from the oven and slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces, making it easy to enjoy.
Step 9
For a fresh and vibrant presentation, divide chopped romaine lettuce among four plates.
Step 10
Generously top each plate with the broiled chicken and mushrooms, then sprinkle on quartered cherry tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, and fragrant sliced basil leaves.
Step 11
Finally, don’t forget to drizzle the reserved balsamic vinaigrette dressing over the top for that extra burst of flavor.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy a delightful meal that’s as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate!.
