Lemon Garlic Chicken Dense Bean Salad
  1. Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a bowl, combine ½ cup EVOO, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, smoked paprika, and minced garlic. Place the chicken thighs in the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).

  2. Chop the Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, chop the cucumbers, roasted red peppers, shallot, artichoke hearts, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

  4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the shallots, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.

  5. Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, artichokes, avocado, cannellini beans, chickpeas, pine nuts (if using), feta, and parsley. Add the sliced chicken and drizzle with the dressing.

  6. Toss and Serve: Gently toss everything together to coat with the dressing. Divide into containers for easy lunches throughout the week, or serve immediately.
