Directions

  1. To plate this dish, prepare a base of quinoa, lentils, and greens in bowls. Top each bowl evenly with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and almonds. Finish with a warm 2 oz (60 g) serving of chicken and a drizzle of roasted red pepper sauce.

*To make Lemon Chicken Marinade:
Combine: ¼ cup (60 mL) olive oil, ⅓ cup (75 mL) lemon juice, 1 Tbsp (15 mL) dried oregano, 2 Tbsp (30 mL) garlic puree, ½ tsp (2 mL) salt, ½ tsp (2 mL) black pepper.

Chef’s Tip:
To take this recipe to the next level, try throwing in some capers or even switching out the roasted red pepper sauce for a delicious agrodolce, to take the Mediterranean feel to the Italian coast.
