INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup diced Cucumber
1/2 cup halved Grape Tomatoes
2 tbsp diced Red Onion
4 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Optionally, you can marinate it briefly in lemon juice and a tiny drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with diced cucumber, halved grape tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a light dressing.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa and vegetable mixture and toss gently to combine.
Plate a serving of the crunchy quinoa salad and top with sliced grilled chicken breast. Serve immediately.
