Instructions

Step 1/4

Prepare Chicken and Couscous

  • 150g Chicken Breast
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Oregano
  • 50g Cous Cous
  • 60mL Chicken Broth

Season diced chicken with paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Heat avocado oil in a pan over medium heat and add chicken breast, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked all the way through. Set aside. In a small saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Remove from heat and add in dry couscous. Cover and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2/4

Combine Salad Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cucumber
  • 1/4 Red Bell Pepper
  • 30g Cherry Tomato
  • 30g Mixed Greens
  • 1/2 small red onion

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, mixed greens, and thinly sliced red onion.

Step 3/4

Prepare Dressing

  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Oregano

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and olive oil to make the dressing. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.

Step 4/4

Assemble and Serve

Add the cous cous to the salad ingredients in the mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated. Transfer the salad to a serving plate or bowl, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
