  • Dip chicken strips into breading mixture to coat well and place on a greased sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil.  Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes turning once.

  • Meanwhile, prepare the salad.  On each plate, place 2 cups of spring mix, cup cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, cilantro, and feta cheese.
  • Finish the salad by placing the chicken strips on the prepared plates of greens, drizzle dressing over it and sprinkle toasted almonds on top.
