Ingredient Benefits

Chicken Breast (Grilled)

Lean and high in protein, chicken breast helps build and maintain muscle, supports satiety, and provides essential nutrients like B vitamins and selenium. Grilling it locks in flavor without excess fat, making it a clean, efficient protein source.

Olive Oil

Used both for cooking and in the dressing, olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. It supports heart health, reduces inflammation, and adds a smooth, flavorful richness to the dish.

Salt and Pepper

Classic seasonings that enhance the natural flavors of the dish. When used moderately, salt helps balance taste while pepper adds a gentle, earthy spice with anti-inflammatory benefits.

Garlic Powder

Adds subtle depth and savoriness. Garlic is known for its immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties, even in powdered form.

Paprika

Paprika provides a mild, smoky sweetness while contributing antioxidants such as vitamin A, which supports eye and immune health.

Mixed Salad Greens

A variety of leafy greens offers fiber, hydration, and a range of vitamins like A, C, and K. They promote digestive health and add refreshing crunch and color to the plate.

Avocado (Sliced)

Avocado delivers creamy texture and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. It’s a great source of potassium, fiber, and antioxidants, supporting everything from brain function to skin health.

Cucumber (Sliced)

Cucumber adds hydration, crunch, and a refreshing contrast to the richer elements. It's low in calories and contains antioxidants and silica, which supports skin and joint health.

Greek Yogurt (for Dressing)

Greek yogurt is a high-protein, probiotic-rich base that’s naturally creamy and tangy. It supports gut health, bone strength (with calcium), and provides a lower-fat alternative to mayo-based dressings.

Lemon Juice

Adds a bright, citrusy note to the dressing while offering vitamin C and natural detoxifying properties. It also helps balance the creamy components.

Garlic (Minced or Powdered)

Adds flavor complexity and offers potent antimicrobial and heart-supportive benefits. Even in small amounts, it can boost the dish’s nutritional profile.

Dijon Mustard

Dijon brings a tangy sharpness and emulsifies the dressing for a smooth texture. It’s low in calories and adds flavor without extra fat or sugar.
