Fall Chicken Salad

To prepare the chicken: Brush chicken breasts with a little olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and optionally a sprinkle of chipotle powder or cayenne pepper. Heat a pan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil, and cook the chicken for about 6 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165F. Remove from pan.

To prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, and 1 tbsp dijon mustard.

To assemble the salad: Serve the cooked chicken with the prepared dressing and top with apple, pecans, cranberries, and feta.
