Serves 2 · Prep 15 min · Cook 15 min

Ingredients

  • 11 oz (320 g) raw boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 1/3 cups (240 g) cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup (150 g) diced cucumber
  • 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes
  • Scant 1/2 cup (100 g) nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice

Method

  1. Cut chicken into even 3/4-inch (2 cm) pieces. Toss with oil, half the lemon juice, 1 tsp dried oregano and 1/4 tsp salt.
  2. Cook in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning often, until the thickest pieces reach 165 F (74 C).
