I had no idea what to make for dinner on Monday. I wanted something light, fresh, and tasty! We were running low on groceries and I didn’t feel like going to the grocery store. I took out the frozen chicken breast and grabbed a couple sweet potatoes. I saw the bag of lettuce in the back of the fridge and I decided to use that up as well.
A couple weeks ago, I made bourbon chicken drummies and they were delicious! I used the same marinades for the chicken breast and they tasted just as great.
Season the chicken breast with the brown sugar bourbon seasoning. Add the chicken breast to a mixing bowl. Pour sweet bourbon over the chicken (about 1/3 cup) and give them a five minute massage. Add another layer of brown sugar bourbon seasoning.
Let the chicken marinate for 2+ hours.(for best flavor)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add the chicken to a greased baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes.
Cut the chicken to make sure its done! I placed mine back in the refrigerator because I don’t like hot food on fresh salads. It wilts the lettuce and makes me sad 🙁
White the chicken was cooling off in the refrigerator, I baked a couple sweet potatoes in the oven with bourbon seasoning on top!
Top the chicken on a plate with fresh spring mix salad (or whatever lettuce you prefer) raw almonds, fried onion crisp, and a raspberry vinaigrette.
What is your favorite restaurant salad? I’ll try to make a healthy version!

That looks delicious! I love the idea of sweet potatoes on the side too 🙂
I’m not sure if you’ve never been to Pittsburgh before, but in case you haven’t, you should consider visiting! Tons of great food around here, but not many are on the healthy side. One of the more popular dishes is a Pittsburgh Chicken Salad- usually lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, sometimes grilled onions & peppers, shredded cheese, some kind of chicken and ranch dressing and FRIES to top it off!! I have always loved salads and of course, french fries, so when I moved here that became one of my favorite things to order. I usually try to get grilled chicken and ranch/cheese on the side, but I can’t seem to do it without the fries! I’ve been contemplating making one with sweet potato fries though 🙂

The BBQ chicken salad at The Cheesecake Factory! So good, but definitely not ideal for you. I’m a vegetarian now too to I get it without the chicken but still amazing.

salmon tostada from Bahama Breeze!

Buffalo Chicken Salad from Chili’s! Sooo good, but soooo high in calorie! I split it with someone, cut out the bacon, and get the dressing on the side. It’s still kinda high though!

Applebees ‘Oriental Chicken Salad’ – – soo good, so bad for you 🙂

Uno’s Honey Crisp Chicken Salad!

Th grilled market salad from Chik-fila! It’s already pretty healthy, but I can’t find a dressing as amazing as their berry balsamic! And the salads I remake from other places are NEVER anywhere near as good!

Pasta House salad OMG so delicious but way too many calories for a salad!
Paige says
Made this, it was delicious! Obviously the spices/marinade were slightly different but all the same tasty. Tossed the chicken on the grill until it was perfect. Sometimes the easiest foods are the tastiest!

Portillo’s chopped salad!!!
