Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Assemble the Salad: Add the sliced grilled chicken to the salad. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
