Chicken breast with fresh Edamame Bean and Pea salad
If you want a really colourful and healthy salad with a taste of spring, this is the meal for you.
You will need:-
1 Chicken Breast - Roasted without skin
1/2 cup Edamame Beans - cooked
1/2 Cup Fresh Peas
Handful of Spinach
1 Spring Onion
2tbsp Greek Yoghurt
1 Garlic Clove

Wilt the spinach in a small amount of water in a pan, and then drain thoroughly.
Finely chop the spring onion and cut the chicken breast into bite sizes pieces.
Crush garlic clove and mix thoroughly with Greek Yoghurt.
Mix all ingredients in a Tupperware box and store in the fridge for 1 hour to marinate.

Take out and enjoy when hungry.

This is an incredibly healthy meal, packed with protein, fibre, vitamin A, B and calcium. The carbohydrates in this meal are extremely slowly digesting, making it ideal for a mid day meal, and helping to avoid the after lunch slump. The protein content serves to promote repair and combines with the fibre to keep you feeling fuller for longer. A real winner!
