Method
Season the chicken1 with salt and pepper, then brush with 4 g olive oil.
Grill the chicken1 or cook it in a dry skillet for 5–6 minutes on each side, until browned with grill marks and the juices run clear.

Mix the yogurt, mustard, grated garlic7, lemon8 juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Roughly chop the romaine2, halve the cherry9 tomatoes, and slice the chicken1.
Place the romaine2 in a bowl as the base, then add the chicken1, cherry9 tomatoes, and croutons in sections.
Drizzle with the yogurt dressing and sprinkle with grated Parmesan4.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cook the chicken in a dry pan so the juices stay in and the meat remains tender. A wet pan makes the chicken dry.
- Substitutions
- Replace the yogurt with sour cream, 60 g, for a thicker sauce. Skip the cherry tomatoes and add 50 g of diced cucumber.
- Common mistakes
- If the chicken is undercooked, the juice inside is pink. Check by cutting a slice: the middle should be white.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep for 2 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for 1-1.5 minutes, covering the plate. Better to make the sauce fresh.
- Serve with
- Serve with a slice of whole grain bread, or for breakfast as a salad with an added egg.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
