INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup dry Quinoa
1/4 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup chopped Cucumber
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, rinse the quinoa under cold water. Cook the quinoa according to package instructions (typically simmering in water for 15 minutes) until it’s fluffy.
In a bowl, combine the cooled quinoa with the chopped red bell pepper, cucumber, and fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the quinoa salad and toss gently to combine.
Slice the grilled chicken breast and serve it atop or alongside the crunchy quinoa salad.
