Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 8 cups baby spinach (about 2 cups per serving)
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- ¼ cup feta cheese (optional)
- ¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Place the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, then season both sides with the salt, thyme, and pepper.
- Roast the chicken for 15-17 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it cool, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Divide the spinach evenly among four single-serving lidded containers. Top each with one-fourth of the cooked chicken, ½ cup of sliced strawberries, 1 tablespoon of feta (optional), and 1 tablespoon of walnuts.
- Transfer 1 ½ tablespoons of balsamic vinaigrette into four small lidded containers. Refrigerate all components for up to four days.
- When ready to eat, drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad, toss, and enjoy!
