Directions
Mix marinade and pour over chicken breasts in a covered dish.
Let sit for 15-30 minutes as you prepare salad.
Make dressing by combining ingredients in a sealed jar; shake vigorously.
In a large salad bowl, layer cabbage, apples, carrot onion.
Drizzle lightly with 1/3 of dressing and toss to combine (reserve remainder of dressing for another salad, or to add if needed).
(The dressing will help the apples keep their color.)
Warm a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil.
Cook chicken breasts for 4 minutes per side or till 165 degrees internal temperature.
Let chicken rest for five minutes before slicing and layering atop salad.
Thinly slice basil and sprinkle over chicken.
Top with berries and pecans and thinly slice cheese over salad as desired.
