INGREDIENTS
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast (85g)
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas, Drained (82g)
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa (60g)
1 cup Mixed Greens (25g)
1/4 cup Sliced Cucumber (50g)
1/4 cup Halved Cherry Tomatoes (40g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice (5g)
1 tsp Cumin Powder (2.3g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cumin powder.
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is grilling, preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the drained chickpeas with a little olive oil, the remaining cumin powder, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes. Add the cooked quinoa.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the roasted chickpeas to the salad mixture and drizzle with the dressing. Toss gently to combine all the flavors.
Top the salad with sliced grilled chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy your power-packed lunch.
