Grilled Chicken Salad

Grilled Chicken is a healthy alternative of cooking Chicken without oil.When you top this with green leafy vegetables and fruits it becomes more healthier.My daughter likes just the Chicken minus the leaves.....:)
Having this salad once in a while is worth trying it out.



Ingredients:

Grilled Chicken:

Chicken Breast            1 halved
Onion Powder             2 tbsp
Garlic Powder              1 tbsp
Salt                               per taste

Salad:

Organic Baby Spinach      1 box
Lettuce                             1
Green Apple                     1 cubed
Italian dressing                  per taste

Method:
 Wash Chicken breast well and pat it dry.Place the breast in a ziploc bag and seal the bag halfway through.Using  a mallet or a meat Pounder ,Pound the breast so that it gets a bit flat evenly all over.



Remove the chicken breast and place it on a plate.In a small bowl,mix all the powders very well.





Slit the chicken breast using a knife and  rub the powdered mixture onto the breast and also into the slits .



Let it rest aside for 5 to 10 mins.In the meanwhile Preheat indoor grill at 350 degrees for 5 min.


when the grill is heated,spray non stick Olive oil onto the plates .Place the Chicken Breast and grill for 10 to 12 min .



Remove the Grilled chicken and transfer it onto a cutting board and cut into small bite sized cubes.


Wash  the baby spinach leaves and place them in a serving bowl add some freshly chopped lettuce ,add grilled chicken cubes,some green apple cubes and toss well .Drizzle up with  Italian dressing mix well and enjoy.

Note:
  • If you do not have an indoor grill you can spray a non stick griddle with oil and cook the chicken breast till the pink color of the meat is all gone and it turns white inside.
  • An indication to check if the breast is cooked well ,the water running out from the meat should be clear.
