🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Prepare the sauce by mixing 1/4 cup olive oil, juice of half a lemon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon chili flakes in a bowl.

Use half of the sauce to marinate the chicken breast, coating it well on both sides, and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Slice onion and bell peppers into long juliennes.

Heat a grill pan and drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil.

Grill the marinated chicken breast on medium heat for about 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 8-10 minutes until done, flipping in between.

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add sliced onions and bell peppers with 1 tablespoon of the prepared sauce, and sauté on medium-high flame for 1 minute to retain crunchiness.

Slice the grilled chicken breast.

Assemble the salad by placing chopped lettuce as the base, then add stir-fried onions and bell peppers on one side and sliced chicken on the other side.

Drizzle more salad dressing on top of the chicken and veggies, and add lemon wedges.
