August 7, 2024

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

20 oz organic boneless skinless chicken breast

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 tsp sea salt

¼ tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp granulated garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tbsp lemon zest

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

For the Peperoncini Salad

4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1 ½ cups cucumber, chopped

1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup red onion, chopped

1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 cup sliced peperoncini, drained

1 cup fresh basil, chopped

¼ cup hemp hearts

For the Dressing

3 tbsp red wine vinegar

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

½ tsp sea salt

½ tsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp RxSugar Liquid Allulose

2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup Italian parsley, chopped

Directions

1Turn on the grill to medium heat and close the lid.

2If chicken breasts are big, pound down with a mallet to ½-inch thick.

3Place spices in a small bowl and mix together. Sprinkle spices over the chicken and rub olive oil on both sides.

4Open the grill lid and scrub with a grill brush. Place chicken top-side down on the grill at an angle for 4 minutes, then turn to the opposite angle on the same side (cross-hatch) for 4 more minutes and turn over. Repeat. Chicken must reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Place a thermometer in the thickest part of the breast to check for doneness. Cook longer if needed. Take the chicken off the grill to rest on a plate.

5Make the dressing for the salad. Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk for 3 minutes. Set aside.

6Cut the chicken into bite-size cubes.

7Place chicken and all salad ingredients in a bowl along with the dressing (if you are meal prepping, keep dressing separate until ready to eat). Toss together.

8Split salad between 4 bowls and enjoy!

9Place in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
