INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Roasted Broccoli
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and your oven to 400°F for roasting broccoli.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a dash of garlic powder. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and its internal temperature registers 165°F.
Meanwhile, toss broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cool water to stop cooking.
Slice the grilled chicken into bite-sized strips. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, pasta, and roasted broccoli.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make a light dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
