Hearty Three-Bean Salad with Lemon-Herb Vinaigrette
Pan-seared chicken breast and a trio of fiber-rich beans are tossed in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a vibrant and refreshing crunch.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.33 cup chickpeas
0.33 cup kidney beans
1 cup green beans
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and blanch the trimmed green beans for 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of the sea salt and black pepper, then sear in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked.
While the chicken rests, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, and the remaining sea salt and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas and kidney beans thoroughly, then add them to the bowl with the vinaigrette along with the blanched green beans and chopped fresh parsley.
Slice the rested chicken breast into bite-sized strips and fold them into the bean mixture, tossing well to ensure every ingredient is coated in the dressing.
Serve immediately or let sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
