Grilled Chicken Breast Salad with Quinoa and Roasted Chickpeas
Tender grilled chicken and fluffy quinoa served over mixed greens with oven-roasted chickpeas and a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Canned Chickpeas
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cups Mixed Salad Greens
1/2 cup Cucumber
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and thoroughly pat dry the chickpeas, then toss them with one teaspoon of the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
Roast the chickpeas for 20-25 minutes until they are golden and crunchy.
While the chickpeas roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and grill over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and any desired dried herbs to create the dressing.
Place the mixed greens in a large bowl and top with the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Add the sliced grilled chicken and the warm roasted chickpeas to the salad.
Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing over the top and toss gently before serving.
