For an entrée salad, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Take 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and dredge through seasoned flour with salt and pepper. Add to the olive oil, sauté until one side is golden brown and turn. Continue to sauté until breasts have reached 165 degrees internal temperature or until desired doneness. Remove from pan and let rest five minutes. Slice on the diagonal and place on salad just before serving. Drizzle with dressing and serve.
