Honey Mustard Chicken Salad With Bacon, Avocado and a crazy good 5 ingredient dressing that doubles as a marinade!
Refreshing, sweet and savoury all at the same time! A popular reader favourite, this Honey Mustard Chicken Salad has been remade all over the world time and time again! You all know me by now that when I create a salad recipe, it ends up being a giant salad that’s a meal in itself. Amazing combinations in a bowl with a hint of garlic, crispy bacon, creamy avocado slices, juicy tomatoes and red onion slices. This is THE ultimate in chicken salad recipes.
Chicken Salad
THIS was the number 1 chicken salad recipe on Pinterest and Facebook for all of 2016 and 2017! THE best honey mustard chicken salad tried and remade again and again by readers everywhere.
Being a fan of honey mustard everything, I gave up enjoying honey mustard dressing on salads because of all of the mayo and calories normally sneaking their way into them. Then, this salad happened. Waking up with the strongest honey mustard craving, I created this salad with FLAVOUR in mind!
Honey Mustard Dressing / Marinade
The best honey mustard dressing is right here! Not only does it double as the dressing AND marinade, it creates the most deliciously crispy, golden edges on the chicken, giving us even more flavour! Halving the dressing to use as a marinade, THEN using the remaining UNTOUCHED dressing to drizzle over the salad once it’s all done and ready to eat has got to be the best way to keep the incredible honey mustard flavours going. May the mustard gods help me! So creamy and sweet and tangy… the perfect balance all in one!
You won’t believe something so simple can lead to something tasting so sinful.
Grilled or Seared Honey Mustard Chicken
In less than 15 minutes you have caramelised and tender honey mustard chicken thighs. If you don’t have time to marinade them for the suggested couple of hours, it’s absolutely fine to cook them right away. You use grill or sear them in a skillet. The choice is yours!
Wash and prep your salad vegetables while your chicken is sizzling away on the pan, smelling those incredible smells flooding your kitchen. Watching the sauce bubbling and thickening around each thigh while coating them in a beautiful syrup is my absolute favourite part.
Salad Vegetables
To make up the veg part in this recipe, I used the following:
- Romaine lettuce (or Cos if in Australia)
- Avocado slices
- Grape or cherry tomatoes
- Red onion slices
- Corn kernels (fresh, frozen and thawed or tinned)
Optional Salad Additions
-
- Crispy bacon
- Boiled egg slices
- Croutons
- Arugula
- Asparagus spears

Honey Mustard Chicken Salad With Bacon & Avocado
Ingredients
Dressing / Marinade:
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons smooth and mild Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar), (OPTIONAL -- to cut through the sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Salt to season
- 4 skinless and boneless chicken thighs or chicken breasts
For Salad:
- 1/4 cup diced bacon, trimmed of rind and fat
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce leaves, washed
- 1 cup sliced grape or cherry tomatoes
- 1 large avocado, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup corn kernels
- 1/4 of a red onion, sliced
Instructions
- Whisk marinade / dressing ingredients together to combine. Pour half the marinade into a shallow dish to marinade the chicken fillets for two hours if time allows. Refrigerate the reserved untouched marinade to use as a dressing.
- Heat a nonstick pan (or grill pan or skillet) over medium heat with about a teaspoon of oil and sear / grill chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through. (Grill in batches to prevent excess water being released.) Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.
- Wipe pan over with paper towel; drizzle with another teaspoon of oil and fry the bacon until crispy.
- Slice chicken into strips and prepare salad with leaves, tomatoes, avocado slices, corn, onion strips and chicken.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons of water into the remaining untouched marinade / dressing and drizzle over the salad. Sprinkle the bacon over the top and season with a little extra salt and cracked pepper (optional).

I am a terrible cook like literally. I don’t remember ever cooking anything yummy. And I have tried so many recipes. BUT this turned out to be AhMehZing!!!! I mean wow! I feel like I can cook. My family doesn’t eat anything raw!! So I heated a tablespoon of unsalted butter and sautéed cork kernels, romaine lettuce and bukchoy. And followed everything. It was SO SO good and pretty simple. This is in our kitchen twice a week. Thank You for letting me know I can rule the kitchen.
Robin Schubert says
Oh my goodness, this was SOOOO good!!! I’m excited to try more of your recipes! No changes at all and I didn’t have to add any salt to the dressing!
Liz says
Agree!!! We made it last night- hands down amazing! Thank you for sharing with us all!
Loida says
MMM looks delicious, how can I go with it?
Jackie says
I love this salad and make it often. However, I am trying Keto, so how can this be made so it’s Keto friendly? I think it’s just a matter of subbing out the honey, but I’m not sure. What do you advise?
Michelle says
I just made this without the bacon for dinner so delicious
Andrea says
Another amazing salad, can’t believe I didn’t try this one sooner. I’m typically so picky about salad dressing recipes, I make them at home and they never taste “right”, and I can never get them adjusted to be as tasty as some store bought or restaurant dressings. Yet somehow every recipe of yours I’ve made comes out perfect on the first try, and they’re so fricken good I’m actually excited about my next salad. I have so many solid salad mixes in my meal prep rotation thanks to you Karina! Even my husband rates them as “crave-able”!
Karina says
Thank you so much, Andrea!
Traci says
Delish! This recipe is soooooo good! Thanks for sharing!
Charles Lentz says
Salad was great. Marinade/Dressing, incredible. I also use the marinade for pork loin roast, very nice. Bon Appetite, y’all.
Samantha says
This looks delicious! How many servings is this?

Just like any recipe, you can adjust it to your liking. You don’t want bacon, leave it out! Don’t want avocado, leave it out! Sure sounds great!
Karina says
So true!! Thank you so much for following along with me! XO
Katie says
Do you cook the corn first?
Karina says
You do not have to but that is a great idea! It would add a little extra flavor to it! Enjoy your salad! XO

I cannot find the recipe, so while you have several foods that look amazing, your site is impossible! I’m giving up on it today and hoping some other day I will see more than a picture, a description, and a ton of comments. But I don’t have time to figure this out.

Jennifer Monroe says
I first made this recipe nearly a year ago for my birthday lunch and it was such a hit I’ve made it several times since and the dressing/marinade even more! I keep a bottle of it made up in the fridge for when I want something different on my salad or meats. I actually have some chicken thighs out for dinner tonight and was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with them and the answer came up in my news feed with this recipe! Thanks for an amazing dish! p.s. I recommend using fresh corn cut from the cob anytime you can get it, it totally makes the fresh factor pop!
Karina says
That sounds great! I am so glad that it worked out so well and you loved it! Thanks so much for following along with me! XO
M. J O'Connor says
Love your recipes. When I try to print it, many, many pages of comments come out first which takes multiple pieces of paper. Please tell me how I can stop this as it stops me from printing the ingredients and instructions.
Karina says
Oh no, I apologize! I am not sure why all of them are printing with it! I will look into and see what I can change and fix on my end.
Jen says
This dressing is the best. I’m making the salad tonight, but I’ve been eating the dressing for days! It is seriously the only homemade dressing I’ve ever made that was worth eating!
Melissa says
This salad is so good! Didn’t make any changes (except for omitting the tomatoes on my portion), and it was perfect! Tastes so decadent without the extra calories!
Thank you for the wonderful recipes–I’ve loved everything I’ve made from your blog!
Karina says
That is awesome! I am so glad that it worked out and you enjoyed this salad! Thank you for sharing and following along with me! I really appreciate it!
Roz says
This is the bomb. Loved every mouthful. Best though was my fussy husband has placed it on the keeper list. Thank you,
Jenn says
WOW! Is all I could say when I first tried this salad. This salad is AMAZING!!! It was my first time trying it tonight & I will be making it again & again!
Crab Dynasty says
This looks SO yummy!! I have made this several times now, such a great marinade or just dressing!
Re says
Wow. I have nothing particularly useful to add but will just chime in to say this salad was delicious! Thanks for posting! I like salad but do need frequent inspiration. Now I found it. I’m off to try the Pesto Chicken Salad.
Karina says
So awesome! Thank you so much for sharing and following along with me! I am so glad that you found this recipe and you loved it! Thanks so much!
Connie says
Loved the idea of getting my mustard fix, but I’m trying to watch the sugar so I went with a basic mustard vinaigrette It was fantastic.
Karina says
YAY! That is great! I am so glad that you made it your own and it turned out great for you! Thanks so much for sharing!
Dee Quinn says
Yummy Good! Best Honey Mustard Dressing I’ve had in a long time. The flavors of the dressing and salad ingredients blend together so well.
Karina says
That is a great way to describe this salad! Thanks so much for sharing!
Karen says
what kind of corn do you use?
Tymeron Smith says
You are welcome to use can corn kernels or cooked corn on the cob and cut from the cob.
Tracy says
I finally found this recipe again. I made this over the summer and we all loved it!! That’s saying a lot considering two of us hate mustard. The only thing I did different was added cucumber to the salad. Quick easy and healthy meal. I made sure I’ll never lose this recipe again and I’m going to try making it in my pressure cooker, but I will brown the outside first. Excellent recipe and I’m now subscribed.
Cheryl says
LOVE this salad- so good! Great for work lunch!
Cheri says
I never have left a review on a Recipe but this is my husbands favorite salad and so easy to make. I didn’t modify at all, it is so easy, thank you!
Karina says
You’re welcome Cheri!
Elaine says
tbe best!!! so nice, didn’t have enough Dijon in the cupboard so used a bit of mild English as well. Will definitely eat this again. 10 stars!!
Karina says
Thank you so much Alyssa!
GG says
Where is the carb content coming from? The corn? I left that out, so hopefully thats what it was..I’ve never liked honey mustard so I only did one tablespoon of the dijon, it was AMAZING!!!! My entire family loved this salad! Will try the apple cider vinegar in the dressing next time, other than that PERFECT!
Karina says
Hi GG. The corn and honey mostly 🙂 I’m so glad you liked this one! It’s definitely a reader favourite 🙂
Heather says
So easy and tasty! Absolutely delicious!
Lindsay Adam says
Hi! Loved this recipe! A little confused as to why it’s 604 calories per serving!! Anyone have any insight or way to cut this down?
Thanks!
Jada says
Omg… I never leave reviews but I had to for this salad…… DELICIOUS… I doubled the recipe and I added shrimp…. I will make this frequently. Thanks a lot
Ana says
Oh my god I just made this salad with your lemon herb Mediterranean salad dressing! Only because my hubby isn’t a fan of honey mustard, and he doesn’t like feta or olives. You probably have already tried it,but if not YOU NEED TO DO IT! Incredible I was blown away!
Ellie says
Super yummy. I personally thought the dressing/marinade was lacking some vinegar so I added white wine vinegar to taste. Loved it after that. It cut through the sweetness of the honey and made a great dressing! Thanks for a yummy dinner idea.
daisy says
Are you just using corn from a can?
Becca Sherman says
Love it when super yummy meals are also healthy! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Sara says
Absolutely delicious! New family favorite!! Followed recipe exact. Next time will make double the marinade/dressing.
Danielle says
Another AMAZING recipe! Thank you so much!
Thilde says
This is sooo amazing! Definitely my new favorite salad. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe 😀
Susan says
Karina,
This was absolutely delish!! I’ve made this twice already, and have made several of your other posted recipes. All that I’ve made have been amazing, including the Fudge Brownies! This evening, I am making the Skinny One Pot Chicken Bacon Alfredo. Can’t wait to taste!! <3
Jeanne says
I was reading thru the comments and realized I completely forgot the garlic! I certainly won’t next time. I did add a tablespoon of rice wine vinegar to the marinade and it was awesome! Thank you for a new favorite.
Leigh Ann says
I made this tonight, it was very good. All delish flavors coming together. I thought the marinade/dressing was lacking a little something though, I felt like it could have used some tang. I was thinking Balsamic Vinegar, and have since read another review that said they used Apple Cider Vinegar which sounds perfect. I love vinegar though. I will definitely make this again and test it out with a bit of vinegar. Excellent though, highly recommend.
Courtney says
I forgot to rate it. Can I give it more than 5 stars?!
Courtney says
Best salad ever! I made this for dinner tonight and my fiance and I absolutely loved it! The chicken is to die for! I didn’t have whole grain mustard so I used dijon and a little yellow mustard and it was delicious! I grilled the chicken as well. We will definitely be having this, probably once a week 🙂
PAMELA HOLMAN says
This was absolutely delicious!!! One of the best salads I’ve ever had!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe. A new family favorite!!
H Denise Thompson says
Oh my goodness. That’s what this salad should be called. My niece and nephew brought this dish to a family dinner and it was a hit! I’m looking forward to making this at home so that there will be leftovers!
Tierra says
This was really delicious! I used another reviewers feedback and added the apple cider vinegar to the dressing and I added a boiled egg. The avocado is a must! I will certainly be making this again and again. Thank you for the recipe!
Brenda says
Would this be good as a cold salad? (Vegetarian here lol) I’m looking for salads I can pack for my husband’s lunches. Thanks
Kim says
Simply FANTASTIC! And that dressing…pure awesomeness! Next time I’ll try not to forget to put the avocado in my salad, which I’m sure only makes this salad even more amazing. Thanks for the recipe!
Wendy Lathan says
Your foods are so nutritious and delicious thank you for your recipes
Lavender Best says
I don’t know how you count! It’s actually 7 ingredients – chicken, bacon, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, avocado, corn and red onion, even if you don’t count garlic!
Karina says
Well I could say you can’t READ as it states ‘5-Ingredient DRESSING’, but I won’t.
Kathy Holcomb says
Disregard! I see the recipe.
Kathy Holcomb says
I see a video but I don’t see the recipe. What am I missing?
Linda Knox says
Just finished eating this for dinner and wow was it ever good. The only thing I changed was adding some apple cider vinegar to the remaining marinade to give the dressing a little more acid. I will be making this one often. Thanks for an excellent recipe!
Lynne says
Ohhh my. I just made this for dinner and was it ever wonderful! I didn’t read the directions beforehand, so I didn’t realize the chicken was supposed to marinate first but – oh well! It was still fabulous. The only change I made was that instead of corn, I added a corn and black bean salsa I had – about two spoonfuls to each salad. The honey mustard marinade/dressing was to die for! I’ve decided I will use it just to cook chicken thighs when I want to have a different meal. Thank you for sharing this recipe! It’s definitely a recipe I’ll make again and again.
Teresa says
This is delicious! I took it to work and my coworkers were drooling over it. I used cucumber instead of corn and added pumpkin seeds. I made just the dressing and marinaded chicken and served it with coconut rice. May sound strange but it was so good!
Jennifer Stewart says
Can’t wait to make this! I just want to verify that each serving is 604 calories and this serves 4. Thank you!
Karina says
Hi Jennifer. Yes that’s correct!
michelle says
can I use plain yellow mustard, and regular Dijon?
Deana says
We all loved this so much!!
Bridget says
This was delicious! Even though I didn’t have enough time to marinate it and used less honey than called for – this will be a repeat in our home!
Heather says
This was so yummy cant wait to make again, Im obsessed with anything honey mustard related! Did a bit of a change up with the chicken – I used drumsticks as that was the only type of chicken I had on hand. I marinated them for a couple of hours then baked them in the oven. When I served up the kids meals I cut the meat off the bones (they are 4 & 5) but I was happy eating the drumsticks as is and making a big mess. Definitely the best honey mustard marinade Ive ever tasted – I wont be buying pre-made store bought honey mustard marinade again! I also added some shredded carrots to my salad as my kids love carrots. Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Karina says
I’m SO HAPPY to hear that Heather and so happy you all loved it! Your substitutions sound just delicious. You’ve made my week! Thank you!
Sharon says
I made the dressing last night in preparation for tonight’s dinner. I used it on a steak salad that I made with left over tri tip….AMAZING. love this dressing.
Esther says
Made this for dinner few hours ago. They were reallyy gooood! This is the kind of salad i wouldnt mind eating everyday ? Thank you for sharing!
Shonni Stevens says
This salad is amazing! I’ve made it over and over and I love it with my chicken grilled on the Trager.
Lindsey says
This was so delicious and very easy. Perfect for weeknights!
Sabrina says
@Barbarita google stove top grills. This may be the grill you can use indoors for that grill effect you’re looking for. I hope this helps ?
bethesdabeck says
Don’t (Virtually) slap me for changing your recipe, but I am a ‘whatever is on hand would be perfect for supper’ kind of woman. On hand is 2 humongous chicken breasts that we smoked Sunday (along with several other meats to fill up the smoker) and corn that I canned off the cob- from our garden. Everything else will be per your recipe. I can already tell that it’s going to be delicious because I love all the ingredients. Thanks for the recipe. I promise I will try it 100% per your directions next time!
Lydia says
I just made this recipe for dinner last night so I have to write and tell you how much my husband and I loved it! Even without the salad the marinade on the chicken was delicious. My husband grilled the chicken and when he brought it inside remarked how good it tasted. Will definitely be making again and again. Great marinade!
DeeDee says
Can you marinade the chicken overnight… or just the 2- hours noted in the recipe? Planning to make tomorrow and trying to prep as much as possible.
Karina says
Hi DeeDee, yes absolutely! I hope you like it!
Marinarn99 says
My husband has been raving about this salad to his friends at work for a week now. He loves recipes with mustard. It really tastes lika a $30 salad that you can get at a bistro in nyc.
Tara says
I have had this pinned for quite sometime and decided to make it tonight. It’s really really good! The dressing was a tad sweet for my taste, but my husband thought it was perfect! I will be making this again!
Karina says
That’s so awesome! I’m so happy you both liked it!
Jean says
Anyone have any idea how many Weight Watchers points this would be? Planning to make it tomorrow night.
Archer says
I made this and OMG it was delicious! Thank you so much
Marilyn says
Karina, This salad is amazing!!! We had this for dinner last night and it was a BIG hit. Grilled the
Chicken and added cucumbers.
Thanks ?.
Stephanie says
So delicious! I love making this!
Barbarita says

Desirae Sanchez says
Love it! Thank you for the simple recipe!! I wish I could share the pic of it so you could see it!
Bonnie Dozier says
OMG!!!!! This is my favorite salad as of today. That’s it is absolutely heavenly!!!!
Karina says
I’m so happy to hear this Bonnie!
Shani Brown says
I made this salad just a few days ago, and it was AWESOME!! I was shocked that my husband actually ate it, and he loved it too (he’s not a mustard fan)!!!! With summer weather coming, we tend to eat a lot of salads, and grilled things. THIS is something I could eat everyday, but I too may just tone down the honey just a bit. I may even try to grill the chicken just to see how that turns out!!
Grace says
This is the first recipe that I’ve tried from you. It was delicious and I will make it again. It was a gorgeous salad and I got rave reviews. Next time, I will reduce the amount of honey as I found it to be too sweet for my taste.
Lindsey says
This was a delicious and easy weeknight meal! Both my husband (not a salad lover) and I loved it!
Morgy says
We made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! My husband suggested we add some of the bacon drippings into the dressing and I’m so glad I let him persuade me. It was so, so good! I figure the salad part cancels out the bacon part!
Christi C says
Just found your website! This salad looks delicious. I’ve been making a lot of salads lately and always make my own dressing. I have a question about the marinade /dressing, does the bacon (I’m assuming cooked) go in the dressing or does it go on the salad?
Thanks and happy cooking!
Karina says
Hi Christi, no the bacon is fried separately and then added to the salad, not the dressing 🙂 I hope you enjoy this salad! It’s been quite popular!
Becca says
This looks so good!
Does the bacon go into the dressing or the salad? Looking at the pics of dressing I don’t see bacon in it but I do see bacon in the salad. It’s under the dressing section of the recipe though, so I’m not sure. thanks!!
Karina says
Hi Becca, No it goes in separately 😉
Lori says
Could you clarify the mustards you’re referring to in this recipe, please. I’m somewhat confused as to what exactly you’re talking about ex: whole grain, mustard. 2 tablespoons mild plus smooth Dijon mustard. Are these two measurements for two different types of mustards in addition to a whole grain? I’m only familiar with the normal yellow mustartd and am really not sure the other types of mustard you’re referring to.
Karina says
Hi Lori. Yes these are two different types of mustards. If you google both types (whole grain mustard and Dijon mustard), images will pop up of what they look like to help you find them, and sometimes it shows you where in your area you can find them (or what stores).
Lisa says
I made this last night and it was really good! Husband loved it too. Thanks for another easy and healthy recipe!
Stacia says
Is whole grain mustard just normal mustard as opposed to dijon?
Karina says
Hi Stacie! Whole grain mustard has seeds in it. Similar in taste to a Dijon but nicer!
Suzi Ufland says
Dear Karina
I’m a novice cook, so I need a bit more direction. In the marinade recipe, you call for bacon. I see in the comments that it is 1/4 CUP, so that part of my question is answered, but is it COOKED bacon? Thank you for your recipes.
I just found your blog, and will be relying on your expertise for a long, long time. Thank you so much
Amanda says
Any way to make the marinade a little less sweet? I have extra that I’d like to use for a dressing, but it’s a little sweet for my taste. Should I add more mustard? Vinegar?
Karina says
Hi Amanda. Yes you can add a little more oil to dilute the sweetness or a couple tablespoons of water.
Alida @ Simply Delicious says
Oh em gee! That succulent chicken drenched in honey-mustard dressing is all kinds of awesome!!
Chassica says
I just made this salad and OMG delish! I did not use the extra marinade for the dressing; instead I opted for a poppyseed dressing. Nevertheless it was pretty amazing! Thank you for your post!
Anna @ Anna Can Do It! says
Yes, please! I need a bowl non less of his! Those chickens though, I can smell that and that color! Adding those delicious avocados, I think you just made the perfect salad! I’m amused and hungry, so now I have to find the ingredients and I have no other choice than…make this salad! I love it, thank you for sharing it! – Love, Anna
Tami says
In the dressing, 1/4 what of bacon? Piece, ounce, cup? Thanks!
Karina says
Hi Tami! It’s 1/4 cup! I’m so sorry and thank you for pointing it out!
Heather says
Made this for dinner last night. It was really delicious and hubby loved it too!
Karina says
Hi Heather! I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you for letting me know!
Kenya Lewis says
Can you provide the nutritional info for this amazing looking salad
Heather says
Love your recipes! And the photography is gorgeous. What talent!

Haha THANK YOU Mary! Thank you so much! Xx
Mia says
Are you no longer posting nutritional stats with your recipes? Miss it!
Karina says
Hi Mia! I will start again if readers prefer it?! I just found different ingredients result in different calculations, and I feel terrible if some readers find they defer too much for their own dietary needs!
