Ingredients

Cold Beetroot Soup Ingredients:

2 medium-sized beetroots, cooked and peeled
1 small cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or full-fat, depending on your preference)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh dill or parsley for garnish

Grilled Chicken Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 4-6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving

Directions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked beetroots, cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. If the soup is too thick, you can add a little water to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the beetroot soup to a bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the soup is chilling, prepare the grilled chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
To serve, divide the cold beetroot soup into two bowls and garnish with fresh dill or parsley. Slice the grilled chicken and serve it alongside the soup. You can also squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken for added flavor.
