Instructions
This refreshing lunch combines tender grilled chicken breast with crunchy fennel, crisp apple, and a creamy yogurt dressing with lemon and dill. Light, protein-rich, and full of flavor, making it a perfect lunch that energizes without feeling heavy.
Sprinkle the chicken breast with pepper and a little salt, and brush with olive oil.
Grill the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side and let it rest briefly before slicing it thinly.
Meanwhile, shave the fennel very thinly and cut the apple into fine matchsticks.
Mix the yogurt with mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped dill to make a fresh dressing.
Divide the arugula over two plates, add the fennel and apple, and place the chicken slices on top.
Spoon the dressing over and serve immediately.
Serving Tip
Garnish with extra dill and optionally a few toasted almond slivers for a light crunch.
Storage Tip
Store the dressing separately and mix just before serving for maximum freshness.
