Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together until combined.
½ cup Dijon mustard, ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil
Add ⅓ of the mixture to a Ziplock bag and place the rest in the refrigerator for serving.
Slice the chicken breasts in half into cutlets. You should have four total. Season both sides with salt and pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Add the chicken to the Ziplock with the marinade. Seal the top and toss to coat in the marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours. If you don’t have the time, let it marinate while you prep the salad ingredients!
Heat your grill,or grill pan to medium-high.
Grill the chicken on both sides until cooked through. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
When the chicken is cool enough to handle, slice it into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess fat.
4 slices bacon
To assemble, divide the greens between bowls. Top with chicken, bacon, tomatoes, avocado and red onion. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and serve.
6 cups mixed greens, 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, 1 avocado, ¼ cup diced red onion

Notes
You can use chicken thighs in place of the chicken breasts.
Any greens work for the salad - use your favorite!
Feel free to add more toppings, such as diced apples, slivered almonds, or corn kernels.
If you are using a grill pan, feel free to cook the bacon with the chicken for easy cleanup.
Add a bit of water to your dressing to thin it out if you find your dressing is a little too thick. It may thicken a bit while it sits in the fridge.
Storage: Store honey mustard chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
