INGREDIENTS
1 piece (3 oz) Chicken Breast (85g)
150g Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (cooked, ~140g)
1/2 cup diced Cucumber (~52g)
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper (~75g)
2 tbsp finely diced Red Onion (~30g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (~15g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (~5g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and let cool.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté or grill it until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side. Allow it to cool and then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled macaroni, diced chicken, diced cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Adjust seasoning as needed and serve chilled or at room temperature.
