I’m sharing one of my favourite salads from the Fraîche Table meal plan! Meet the Honey Mustard Chicken Salad. It’s nourishing, vibrant and hearty enough for a dinner salad.
Fraîche Table is home to (quite literally) thousands of recipes, all of which are simple and balanced. This salad was too good not to share! I know many of us are trying to incorporate some lighter meals into our week following the food marathon that is Christmas (lol); if you can relate, this salad is a great recipe to try. It just scratches the surface of all the incredible recipes Fraîche Table has to offer.

Might we predict that this just might be your new favourite dressing! If you’re a honey mustard fan, this one’s for you. It’s the perfect balance of salty, sweet, and just a tiny bit tangy. I am convinced this would taste good on any salad, but this combo in particular is perfection.

Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
For the Salad:
- 2 cups panko
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 heads roughly chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 diced tomatoes
- 1 sliced avocado
- 1/2 sliced cucumber
- 4 eggs
- Pickled Red Onions to serve
Honey Mustard Dressing:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 4 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 minced garlic cloves
Instructions
For the Chicken
-
Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the chicken dry and season with the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Add the oil to a medium frying pan over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and sear on each side for 2-3 minutes, until golden. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165 F. Lest rest before slicing or dicing.
For the Salad
-
In the same pan over medium heat, add the panko and garlic powder and toast until golden, careful not to burn. Remove from the heat and set aside.
-
While the chicken bakes, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the eggs and hard-boil to your liking, 7-12 minutes. When the eggs are done, rinse under cold water, peel, and slice once cool.
For the Dressing
-
Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
-
Assemble the salad with the romaine as a base topped with the tomato, avocado, cucumber, hard boiled eggs, chicken and Pickled Red Onions (if desired). Top with the dressing when ready to enjoy.

Absolutely delish!! We loved how you use toasted panko and not croutons!! My kids have asked for this salad. It will be on the menu often!! Pickled onions are the best!
