Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  • Preheat your grill to medium heat and line a grill pan with foil to make clean-up easier.
  • Beat the egg white in a shallow plate and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Just be sure to adjust the grilling time as thighs might take a bit longer to cook through compared to breasts.

What can I use instead of white wine vinegar?

If you don’t have white wine vinegar, you can substitute it with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Both will add a nice acidity to the salad.
