Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb raw chicken breast
  • 8 cups kale, chopped (140 grams)
  • 4 cups radicchio, sliced (140 grams)
  • 1/2 cup dry green lentils, cooked according to package directions (88 grams)
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils (85 grams)
  • Optional toppings: feta cheese

Marinade/Dressing

  • 5 tbsp olive oil (2.5 oz)
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar (2 oz)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (1 oz)
  • 2 tbsp honey (1 oz)
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Whisk together all marinade/dressing ingredients except Parmesan cheese (if using).  Pour half of the dressing over the chicken breast in a resealable bag or container.  Marinate for at least 1 hour.
  • If desired, whisk Parmesan cheese into remaining salad dressing (not included in nutrition info).
  • Assemble salad by tossing kale, radicchio, and cooked lentils with most of the remaining dressing, conserving some for on top of the chicken once cooked. (Keep dressing separate if meal prepping the salad.)
  • Grill chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.  Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and placing on top of salads.
  • Top chicken with remaining dressing and pomegranate arils.  Add feta cheese, if desired (not included in nutrition info).
