Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
-
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165 degrees F). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
-
While the chicken rests, grill the pineapple for 2–3 minutes per side, or until caramelized and marked with grill lines.
-
Arrange the mixed greens evenly across 4 plates or a large serving platter. Scatter the sliced red onion over the greens.
-
Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips and cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Divide evenly over the salad.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, and monk fruit sweetener. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
-
Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the salad and serve immediately.
