Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 4 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 large Carrot
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 0.25 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Brush the mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into thinner strips.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumber, julienne the red bell pepper, peel and grate the carrot, and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, and red onion.

Step 6

For the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 7

Add the sliced chicken to the salad and drizzle the yogurt dressing over the top.

Step 8

Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients and ensure even coating of the dressing.

Step 9

Serve the salad immediately and enjoy your healthy, low-fat meal.
