Looking for a healthy weeknight dinner? This salad will fit the bill. It's full of good crunchy lettuce, cucumbers and red onion with yummy garlic chicken and tomatoes.
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/4 cups Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp water
3 Tbsp finely chopped mint
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup of sliced cucumbers
1 halved cherry tomatoes
4 cups torn romaine lettuce
1 small red onion thinly sliced
Cut chicken into 1" cubes and place them in a bowl. Add the minced garlic into the chicken and stir to mix well. Season lightly with salt and pepper and set aside.
Whisk the yogurt, water mint, olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper to make a dressing.
Pour 1/3 of the dressing over the chicken, stir and marinate 5 minutes.
Place chicken on a foil lined greased baking sheet in a single layer. Broil until no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
In a large serving bowl, toss the romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and red onion slices. Make sure it's mixed well. Top with chicken and drizzle with some of the remaining dressing. Serve with croutons or wedges of warmed pita bread.
