INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Mixed Greens
1/4 medium Cucumber
1/4 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing a marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, and finely chopped fresh herbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring even coverage. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. Cook the quinoa by combining it with water in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, then simmer covered for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Assemble the dish by starting with a base of mixed greens. Top with fluffed quinoa and arrange sliced cucumber and red bell pepper for added crunch.
Slice the grilled chicken breast and place it on top of the assembled greens and quinoa. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top if desired, and serve immediately.
