Instructions

1
Step 1
Begin by cooking the quinoa. Rinse it under cold water, then place it in a pot with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and let it simmer until fluffy, about 15 minutes. Drain any excess water and set aside.
2
Step 2
While the quinoa is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill and cook the chicken until it is thoroughly cooked, approximately 6 minutes per side. Ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
3
Step 3
Once the chicken is grilled, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips. This helps retain the juices and enhances the flavor.
4
Step 4
Prepare the vegetables by chopping the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and thinly slicing the red onion. This adds a fresh crunch to the salad.
5
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped lettuce, sliced onion, and feta cheese crumbles. This forms the base of your salad.

Step 6
Drizzle the salad with olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Toss everything together to ensure even coating. Finally, top the salad with the grilled chicken strips and serve immediately.
