Orange Chicken Salad with Greens and Goat Cheese

Sometimes it’s just too hot to grill. So we’ll keep it inside and use the slow cooker for a light dinner. Light, simple and easy summer recipe is the perfect week night meal. Another option is to make the chicken and to keep it in the fridge and use it during the week for other recipes such as a stir fry. You can also have a piece of chicken with a sweet potato and veggies for breakfast or lunch. Enjoy!
