INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup uncooked Quinoa
1/4 cup diced Cucumber
1/4 medium Red Bell Pepper, diced
1/8 medium Red Onion, chopped
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a small pot, combine the quinoa with water (using a 1:2 ratio), bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Let it cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled quinoa with diced cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped parsley.
Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a light dressing. Drizzle over the quinoa salad and toss gently until well combined.
Slice the grilled chicken breast and serve it atop or alongside the crunchy quinoa salad.
