Instructions
In a bowl, season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, paprika, and olive oil. Set aside to marinate briefly.
Preheat a grill pan for 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and nicely charred.
While the chicken cooks, marinate the zucchini slices and halved cherry tomatoes separately with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill them until tender and slightly caramelized.
Boil the spiral pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
For the sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, pepper, dried dill, dried chives, and garlic until smooth.
To assemble the bowl: Slice the grilled chicken and place it on one side of the plate. Add grilled zucchini, cooked pasta, grilled cherry tomatoes, a few leftover zucchini slices, grated red onion, cooked corn, and a handful of mixed leafy greens.
Spoon your Greek Yoghurt with Dill Sauce into the center or serve it on the side. Enjoy your colorful, nutritious, and protein-rich fitness meal!
Tip: You can replace the chicken with any other protein source of your choice (beef, eggs, tofu, soy, fish, shrimp, etc.).
Storage Tips
Refrigeration:
Chicken, pasta, and grilled vegetables can be stored together in an airtight glass or BPA-free plastic container in the refrigerator.
They will stay fresh for up to 3–4 days.
Reheating:
Reheat the chicken, pasta, and vegetables in a non-stick pan over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through. Add a splash of water or a few drops of olive oil to prevent dryness.
Do not reheat the yogurt dill sauce with the rest of the meal.
Greek Yoghurt Dill Sauce:
Store the sauce separately in a small airtight container in the refrigerator.
It is best used within 2–3 days for optimal flavor and texture.
Do not freeze the sauce, as yogurt may separate and develop a grainy texture after thawing.
Freezing:
You can freeze the cooked chicken and pasta (without the sauce or raw vegetables) in freezer-safe airtight containers for up to 2 months.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Do not freeze the fresh vegetables or yogurt sauce, as they don’t thaw well.
