INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup diced Cucumber
1 medium Tomato, diced
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season generously with salt, black pepper, and half of the fresh mixed herbs.
Place the chicken on a baking tray. Squeeze half a lemon over the chicken and drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil on top.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and develops a light golden crust.
Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa by fluffing it with a fork if pre-cooked. If cooking from raw, simmer according to package instructions until tender.
In a bowl, combine diced cucumber and tomato. Add the remaining fresh herbs and mix in the remaining lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper for light dressing.
Plate the chicken alongside a serving of quinoa and top with the fresh cucumber tomato salad.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, flavor-packed meal.
