I made one of these Cherry and Goat Cheese Chicken Salads for dinner, and meal prepped the other one for a quick, healthy lunch!

This would be a great use of rotisserie or meal prepped chicken.

But I actually threw a seasoned chicken breast into the air fryer for 12 minutes for mine.

How to make Cherry and Goat Cheese Chicken Salads

Start with dividing some salad mix or chopped lettuce of choice between two bowls, or a bowl and a meal prep container.

I used arugula for mine.

Then add some cooked, diced chicken.

Then about a cup of pitted cherries.

Honestly, pitting them was not my favorite… but weeelllllll worth it for how great they are in this salad.

Finally, some walnuts, goat cheese crumbles, and balsamic vinaigrette.

I added this right to my dinner salad, but in a cup with a lid on the side for the meal prepped one.

Two meals for the effort of ONE… you can’t beat that!

Now I have one of my Cherry and Goat Cheese Chicken Salads for lunch tomorrow!

And one that I dug into right away 🙂
