Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 small Cucumber
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 medium Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Water
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Place the chicken breast in a small pot and add 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
While the chicken cooks, peel and chop the cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and parsley.
Juice the lemon and drizzle it over the salad. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the mixture.
Toss everything gently to ensure the ingredients are well combined and evenly coated with the seasonings.
Serve the chicken salad on top of the lettuce leaves for a fresh and crispy base. Enjoy immediately!
