A Note from Feedfeed
Maple marinated chicken breast, which is then grilled and sliced, adds a lot of flavor to this quick and easy weeknight salad, made even more satisfying by the addition of roasted golden beets, broccoli, and carrots. You can swap out any roasted vegetables depending on the season.
