Instructions

For the dressing, combine yogurt, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a mason jar. Shake well until mixed; refrigerate until needed.
Marinate the chicken by whisking together soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, lemon juice, zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Grill the marinated chicken on medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F). Allow resting for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assemble the salad by dividing chopped romaine into serving bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken, gorgonzola cheese, almonds, blueberries, and cranberries. Drizzle with dressing just before serving.
