Summer Challenge Finale Recipe: Grilled Lemon-Herb Chicken Salad

As we wrap up our exhilarating 6-Week Summer Fitness Challenge, we want to celebrate your hard work and dedication with a tasty recipe that encapsulates the essence of summer—our Grilled Lemon-Herb Chicken Salad. This dish is not only a testament to the delicious journey we’ve embarked on together but also a perfect example of how simple and joyful healthy eating can be. We hope these recipes have inspired you to continue embracing nutritious meals that fuel your body and enrich your life.

Ingredients:

Serves 2

• Chicken Breasts: 2 large (about 150g each), boneless and skinless
• Lemon: 1, zested and juiced
• Fresh Herbs: A handful of parsley, basil, and thyme, finely chopped
• Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
• Mixed Greens: 150g (such as rocket, spinach, and lettuce)
• Cherry Tomatoes: 100g, halved
• Cucumber: 1 small, sliced
• Red Onion: 1 small, thinly sliced
• Feta Cheese: 50g, crumbled
• Salt and Pepper: to taste

Instructions:

• Marinate the Chicken:
  • In a bowl, combine lemon zest, half the lemon juice, half the chopped herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more flavor.
• Grill the Chicken:
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and nicely charred. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.
• Prepare the Salad:
  • In a large salad bowl, toss the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion with the remaining lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Assemble and Serve:
  • Add the sliced grilled chicken to the top of the salad. Sprinkle with feta cheese and the remaining fresh herbs.
