How to make Poppy Seed Berry Chicken Salad

*Note:  The full printable recipe card is at the bottom of this post.

• Add olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add chunks of chicken breast and grill seasoning.
• Stir and cook until the chicken is cooked through.

Homemade Poppy Seed Dressing

• Add mayonnaise to a small bowl.
• Add sugar, milk, white vinegar, poppy seeds, salt, and pepper.
• Whisk until well combined.

• Add chopped romain lettuce to a large serving bowl.
• Add strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pecans, and the cooked chicken.
• Drizzle with the poppy seed dressing.

This recipe calls for steak grill seasoning to season the chicken breast.  You can use any seasoning spice blend that you like.  I like the steak seasoning blend because it usually has coarse ground pepper, sea salt, dehydrated garlic, onion, and a few other spices.
