This Marinated Chicken Salad with Garlic Rosemary Vinaigrette is such a healthy, filling, and delicious lunch or dinner idea! Great for meal prepping too!

I don’t know about you but I love a good chicken salad, but over time they tend to get a little boring. If you follow me on Instagram at all you know I am always looking and cooking up fresh recipes, that are also easy!

This time I have teamed up with my good friends at Marzetti® Salad Dressings to make this delicious marinated chicken salad! Let me tell you, it is SO good!

One of my favorite things about their brand new Tastefully Dressed™ salad dressings is that they are made with simple ingredients and have hardly any preservatives thanks to the UV-Blocking label!

! They come in 8 fresh flavors and have vegan options! For this chicken salad, I chose to use the Roasted Garlic Rosemary with Olive Oil Vinaigrette, and have no regrets!

Wondering where you can pick up these dressings?

Walmart, Publix and Kroger all carry these dressings, but to find a store near you, you can check here.

Okay, let’s get down to business!

Ingredients for Marinated Chicken Salad with Garlic Rosemary

Vinaigrette

Chicken – I chose to use boneless skinless chicken breast, but you can use tenders too!

Salad Greens – Use your favorite salad mix! I really love mixing romaine and baby spinach or the store-bought spring mix is a really great option too!

Walnuts – These add a nice crunch!

Avocado – I mean is it really a salad with avocado? Not to mention they are full of healthy fats!

Tomatoes – sun-dried tomatoes pair really well with garlic and lemon

How To Make Marinated Chicken Salad with Garlic Rosemary Vinaigrette

Add your chicken to a resealable plastic bag and cover with the Vinaigrette. You don’t need a ton of the vinaigrette, just enough to cover the chicken. Let it marinate at least 2 hours or overnight.

Place a pan on the stove and heat to medium-high heat, once hot, add your marinated chicken to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side then bake for 15-20 minutes at 400F.

Mix remaining ingredients except for 1/4 cup vinaigrette in a large bowl. Top with sliced rosemary garlic chicken, and toss.

Pour remaining vinaigrette over salad and toss until evenly coated.

Serve immediately.

How To Meal Prep

This salad recipe is perfect for batch cooking and meal prepping. You can prep as a chicken salad or use the marinated chicken to pair with veggies or another side dish like Honey-Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Apples or Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
