INGREDIENTS
0.8 oz Grilled Chicken Breast (approx 23g)
0.33 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta (approx 50g)
0.33 cup Roasted Mushrooms (approx 40g)
0.33 cup Roasted Brussels Sprouts (approx 35g)
0.5 cup Diced Apple (approx 80g)
0.25 cup Mashed Potatoes (approx 60g)
0.5 medium Avocado (approx 100g)
2 tbsp Granola (approx 15g)
1.5 tbsp Olive Oil (approx 20g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the vegetables.
Toss sliced mushrooms and halved Brussels sprouts with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
Season a small portion (around 0.8 oz) of chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. Grill over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until just cooked through. Once done, let it rest and then slice thinly.
In a bowl, combine 0.33 cup of cooked whole wheat pasta, the roasted vegetables, 0.5 cup diced apple, 0.25 cup mashed potatoes, and 0.5 of a medium avocado, diced.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola over the mixture to add a delightful crunch.
Drizzle 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken and serve immediately.
