INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Tomato
0.25 cup Red Onion
2 tbsp Lime Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, and chopped fresh cilantro to create a zesty marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, dice the tomato and finely chop the red onion. Combine them in a bowl with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and an extra drizzle of lime juice to form the fresh tomato salsa.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is resting, warm the cooked quinoa if desired or serve it at room temperature.
Slice the chicken and serve it atop the bed of quinoa, spooning the tomato salsa generously over the top. Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
