Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Preheat the grill over medium-high heat and grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let it rest before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes (halved), and sliced cucumber. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and lemon juice, then toss to coat.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Lunch

    Serve a portion of quinoa topped with sliced grilled chicken on a plate. Add a generous helping of the mixed greens salad and sprinkle feta cheese on top. Enjoy your weekday lunch!
