Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 200g each) Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 4 cups Baby spinach
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium Cucumber, sliced
• 1 cup Quinoa, cooked
• 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill pan or regular skillet over medium heat. While it heats, pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Drizzle the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season them with 0.5 teaspoons of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 3

Cook the chicken in the pan for 6-8 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 4

While the chicken cooks, prepare the salad base by combining baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and cooked quinoa in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt to make the vinaigrette.

Step 6

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 7

Divide the salad into two serving bowls. Top each bowl with the sliced chicken breast and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, delicious meal!
