Ingredients

Dressing

  • 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon golden balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh tarragon
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 3-4 rings red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 0.25 cup feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds

Instructions 

  • Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar, tarragon, salt, and pepper until blended.
  • Marinate chicken breasts in half of the dressing for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate longer and serve immediately for best freshness.
