ThemedLunchAmericanSaladMeal prep
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups seedless red grapes
- 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes
- 2 celery stalks
- 3 green onions
- 1/4 cup fresh dill
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup roasted sunflower seeds
- 8 butter lettuce leaves
Instructions
- 1Pat the chicken dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- 2Add the chicken and cook until golden on the first side, about 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes more.
- 3Transfer chicken to a cutting board and rest 5 minutes so the juices settle. Dice into bite-size pieces and let cool slightly.
- 4Halve the seedless red grapes and grape tomatoes. Thinly slice the celery and green onions. Chop the dill and parsley.
- 5In a large mixing bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
- 6Add the cooled diced chicken, halved grapes, grape tomatoes, celery, green onions, dill, and parsley to the bowl.
- 7Toss gently until everything is evenly coated and the grapes and tomatoes are distributed throughout. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- 8Fold in the roasted sunflower seeds for crunch. Spoon the salad into butter lettuce cups or pack into containers for lunch. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.
