Method
 

Prepare the Chicken and Brussels Sprouts
  1. Marinate chicken breasts in olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Grill chicken and halved Brussels sprouts on medium-high heat until golden and charred.
Assemble the Salad
  1. Chop the grilled chicken and Brussels sprouts into small bite-size pieces.
  2. Toss the warm Brussels sprouts with feta cheese so it softens slightly.
  3. Mix all the chopped ingredients in a large bowl with the Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette.
  4. Toss well and finish with extra feta cheese and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Use a grill pan if you don’t have access to an outdoor grill.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, or store in the fridge for meal prep.
  • Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an extra burst of flavor.
