INGREDIENTS
2.2 oz grilled chicken breast

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt, pepper, and any preferred herbs.
Grill the chicken for approximately 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let it rest and then slice into strips.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, mixed greens, red bell pepper pieces, and cucumber slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice to create the vinaigrette.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken, and serve immediately.
