Savor a crisp, seasoned chicken breast paired with a zesty quinoa salad bursting with fresh cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion, all lightly tossed in a fragrant lemon-herb dressing. This balanced dish is both refreshing and satisfying, making it the perfect protein-packed lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (from 1/4 cup uncooked)
1/4 cup chopped Cucumber
1/4 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp finely chopped Red Onion
1 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Olive Oil
1.5 tbsp Lemon Juice
Seasonings (Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder) to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through and the exterior is slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, cook quinoa according to package instructions if not already prepared. Once cooked, allow to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss gently to combine.
Slice the crispy chicken breast and serve atop or alongside the lemon herb quinoa salad.
