Grilled Chicken and Lentil Pasta Salad
Grilled chicken breast and protein-packed lentil pasta tossed with garden vegetables and a bright lemon vinaigrette, topped with a touch of fragrant dried oregano.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
1.05 ounces Red Lentil Pasta (dry weight)
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup sliced Cucumber
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 tablespoon minced Red Onion
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Cook the lentil pasta in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper, then grill over medium-high heat for approximately 6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and dried oregano to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, grilled chicken, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated before serving.
