INGREDIENTS
1 ounce Chicken Breast
0.125 cup dry Quinoa
1.75 cup Roasted Mixed Vegetables
1.5 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Toss your chopped mixed vegetables (red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion) with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil, then spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, grill the chicken breast on a preheated grill or grill pan until fully cooked; allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
Cook the quinoa according to package instructions using a 2:1 water ratio. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and let it cool.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, and sliced grilled chicken.
Whisk together the extra virgin olive oil (1.5 tablespoons) and lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your light yet flavorful lunch.
