Ingredients
 

  • ¼ cup cooked quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons Dukkah spice mix
  • 5 cherry tomatoes (cut into halves)
  • cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • feta cheese
  • cilantro leaves
  • salt
  • oil

Instructions
 

  • Whisk coconut milk, olive oil, pinch of salt, lemon juice and a tablespoon of dukkah spice in a bowl to make the dressing.
  • Score the chicken breast slightly and add 1 tablespoon of dukkah spice mix to it. In a hot pan, drizzle oil and layer the chicken breast carefully. It will take about 4 to 5 minutes to cook on one side. Flip it and allow it to cook for another 3 minutes. Once done, let it rest for 2 minutes and then, slice it into to bite size pieces.
  • In a mason jar, pour 1 teaspoon of the salad dressing followed by 1½ tablespoons of cooked quinoa followed by a few slices of cucumber. Then, layer the chicken pieces and pour about 1 teaspoon of salad dressing. Top it with a few crumbles of feta cheese and a few pieces of tomatoes. Finally, drizzle some dukkah spice mix on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Please note that the cooking time doesn't include quinoa as I used cooked quinoa.
