INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
2 cups Baby Spinach
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 medium Cucumber
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Basil)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the 4-ounce chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to an hour in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Set aside to rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked. Fluff with a fork once done.
In a bowl, combine 2 cups of baby spinach with halved cherry tomatoes and sliced cucumber.
Layer the bowl by placing the cooked quinoa as the base, add the mixed fresh vegetables on top, and then arrange the sliced grilled chicken breast.
