Method
Poach chicken3 breast in salted water for 15–18 minutes until the meat is white and the juices run clear. Cool and cut into cubes.
Trim and cut broccoli into small 1–1.5 cm florets, slice the thick stems into thin rounds. Dice the apple2 into small cubes, slice the red4 onion into thin half-moons, and grate the hard7 cheese.
Whisk together Greek8 yogurt, apple2 cider vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Toss broccoli, apple, onion, and chicken3 with the dressing and let sit for 10 minutes. The broccoli softens slightly but stays crisp.
Transfer to a bowl and top with grated cheese, sunflower5 seeds and cranberries.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cut the broccoli into small florets and the stems into thin rounds. In the dressing it softens slightly in 10 minutes and stays crunchy.
- Substitutions
- Use raisins or chopped dried apricots, 10 g, instead of cranberries. Thick sour cream, 50 g, can replace the Greek yogurt.
- Common mistakes
- Broccoli goes limp if it sits in the dressing for more than 2 to 3 hours. For a packed lunch, carry the dressing separately.
- Storing and reheating
- Keeps up to 2 days in the fridge: dressed broccoli softens a little but stays good. Do not reheat.
- Serve with
- Pack it for lunch with a flatbread or a slice of bread.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
