This chicken and cucumber bowl with dill and mustard dressing is refreshment on a plate: juicy slices of chicken fillet, crispy cucumber and fresh radish, brought together by a creamy dressing with fresh dill and mustard. A protein-rich dish that feels light yet satisfying.

In Phase 1 of the protein diet, it's all about plenty of protein and few carbohydrates, and this bowl fits perfectly. The chicken fillet delivers a good 38 grams of protein, whilst cucumber and radish contribute barely any carbohydrates. The lean Greek yoghurt in the dressing adds extra protein and boosts satiety, so you'll feel full long after lunch without crossing the carbohydrate threshold of this strict phase.

Lovely with a few fresh mint leaves scattered through the salad or a sprinkle of lemon zest over the chicken for even more freshness. Want to make it a bit heartier? A handful of halved cherry tomatoes works perfectly.

Zo maak je het

  1. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and cook in the olive oil for 8 to 10 minutes until done.
  2. Let the chicken rest briefly and slice.
  3. Mix the yoghurt with mustard, dill, salt and pepper to make a dressing.
  4. Arrange the cucumber and radish in a bowl.
  5. Place the chicken on top and drizzle the dill dressing over.

Bewaren

Store the bowl for a maximum of 1 day covered in the fridge and keep the dill dressing separate to keep the cucumber crispy. Season to taste just before serving.

Variatietips

Try swapping the chicken for smoked salmon or cooked prawns for a fish variation. A pinch of cumin or a finely sliced spring onion gives the dressing a new twist.
