Ingredients: 4 oz chicken breast; 0.5 cup cooked quinoa; 0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil; 3 cup romaine lettuce; 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt; 1 tbsp lemon juice; 1 tsp Dijon mustard; 1 clove garlic; 1 tbsp nutritional yeast; 0.25 tsp sea salt; 0.25 tsp black pepper

Prep 10 min · Cook 15 min

Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat half of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat; add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the cooked quinoa; sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the quinoa is toasted and crunchy.
While the quinoa toasts, prepare the dressing by whisking together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and nutritional yeast in a small bowl.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Add the dressing to the lettuce and toss thoroughly to ensure every leaf is coated.
Divide the dressed lettuce between plates, top with the sliced chicken, and finish with a generous sprinkle of the crispy quinoa.
