Ingredients

For The Salad

  • 120 g cucumber chopped
  • 40 g carrot finely chopped or shredded
  • 90 g tomato diced
  • 80 g lettuce chopped
  • 50 g cabbage shredded
  • 40 g onion sliced
  • 2 large eggs boiled

For The Chicken Marinade

  • 185 g boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar

For The Grilled Chicken Salad Dressing

  • 30 g low-fat mayonnaise
  • 60 g low-fat yogurt
  • ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ tablespoon honey
  • Salt to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Marinade:

  • In a bowl, combine lemon juice, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
  • Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. I slice the raw chicken breast so it's thinner.
  • Cover and let the chicken marinate for 20 minutes.

Cook the Chicken:

  • Preheat a grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. You can add a teaspoon of oil if you like.
  • Grill the marinated chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
  • Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Make the Salad Dressing:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat mayonnaise, low-fat yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper powder, minced garlic, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.

Assemble the Salad:

  • In 2 medium plates or bowls, arrange the chopped cucumber, finely chopped or shredded carrot, diced tomato, chopped lettuce, shredded cabbage, sliced onion, sliced boiled eggs and sliced grilled chicken.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad and chicken.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your chicken salad recipe with eggs!
