Artichoke Chicken Power Salad

This Artichoke Chicken Power Salad is a clean, nutrient-dense meal delivering an impressive 35–40 grams of protein and 10–12 grams of dietary fiber in a single serving. Juicy grilled chicken breast sits atop a crisp bed of fresh arugula or mixed greens, combined with tender artichoke hearts, crunchy cucumber, and rich avocado. Finished with a sprinkle of ground flaxseed for extra healthy fats and tossed in a light lemon-olive oil vinaigrette, it provides a bright, satisfying option for a quick lunch or dinner.
