Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (double portion for added protein)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups mixed salad greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula, etc.)

Greek Yogurt Dip:

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (choose a brand with no added sugars)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Salt and pepper to taste

Raw Veggie Side:

1 cup cucumber slices
1 cup cherry tomatoes

Directions

Chicken:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts, then sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly on both sides.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

2. Greek Yogurt Dip:

In a small bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.

3. Raw Veggie Side:

Wash and slice the cucumber and cherry tomatoes. Arrange them on a plate as a refreshing and crunchy side dish.

4. Assembling:

Grab two serving bowls and divide the mixed salad greens between them.
Top each bowl with half of the sliced chicken pieces.
Serve the raw veggies on the side.
Add a dollop of the Greek yogurt dip on top of the chicken salad.
