Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh dill
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium (diced) Cucumber
- 1 small (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken breast. Trim any excess fat and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon of parsley, 1/2 tablespoon of dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir into a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
Prepare the dressing by mixing the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, low-fat Greek yogurt, honey, and the remaining minced garlic clove in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
Top the salad with the sliced chicken breast and drizzle the zesty lemon-herb dressing over the top.
Sprinkle the remaining parsley and dill over the salad as a fresh garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat Zesty Lemon Herb Chicken Salad Bowl!
