hCG Poppy Seed Spinach and Chicken Salad

INGREDIENTS

198.45 g chicken breast (100g per) boneless, skinless
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried parsley
1/8 tsp black pepper
4 Tbsp Poppy seeds added to your favourite hCG lemon based salad dressing
150 cl baby spinach
187 1/2 ml Clementine segments, chopped fine

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Dip the chicken breasts in lemon juice and let sit in the juice for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with onion powder, salt, parsley and pepper.
  3. Grill the seasoned chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Dice into bite-sized pieces. I like mine small for this one.
  4. In a large bowl, toss spinach, clementines and dressing together.
  5. Divide the salad between two bowls and top with grilled chicken pieces.

RECIPE NOTES

Marinate the chicken in 2 tablespoons of the lemon poppy seed dressing overnight rather than seasoning it with the lemon juice and herbs.

Apple slices are a good substitute for clementine segments
