Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 hearts Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Whole wheat croutons
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Chop the romaine lettuce hearts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Add the grilled chicken strips to the salad bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad, and toss to coat the lettuce and chicken evenly.
Grate the Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad.
Sprinkle the whole wheat croutons evenly across the salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy a fresh, healthy meal.
