Greek Chicken + Salad
Simple salads don't need to be boring. Gluten free. High in protein, vitamins and nutrients. This simple salad can be prepped on the weekend to make your week night cooking quick and easy with little to no clean up.
Ingredients
- 6 oz chicken breast previously cooked, measure cooked
- 1.5 tsp Greek seasoning
- 3.5 oz chick peas rinsed, strained
- .75 oz fat free feta cheese crumbles
- 2 oz grape tomatoes halved
- 1 oz red onion sliced
- 2 oz hearts of palm rinsed and chopped
- 2 oz English cucumber quartered
- 2 oz spinach chopped
- 1-2 T dressing of choice
Instructions
- Toss in bowl and eat as salad.
Notes
If you prep a few pounds of chicken breast every Sunday you can save yourself some time and use previously cooked chicken for this recipe. Then this will make a really simple week night dinner and all you have to do is chop a few veggies.
I also do not include the calories or macros for any dressing in this. However, I would recommend this dressing for this salad.
I also like this Greek seasoning.
