- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- Whisk balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey, then brush half over the chicken and marinate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium heat.

Notes
- Use fresh blackberries for best flavor and texture.
- Do not overcook chicken to keep it juicy.
- Store dressing separately to prevent soggy greens.

- Toast nuts for enhanced flavor.
- Use mixed greens like spinach, arugula, and lettuce.
