INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
2 cups Baby Spinach
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 medium Cucumber
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons chopped mixed herbs. Reserve half of this marinade for dressing the salad and use the rest to coat the chicken.
Season the 6 oz chicken breast with salt and pepper, then brush both sides with the prepared marinade.
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked. Fluff with a fork.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of baby spinach, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and 1 diced medium cucumber.
Add the cooked quinoa to the bowl and drizzle with the reserved lemon herb dressing. Toss gently to combine.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips and arrange on top of the salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced, nutritious meal.
