INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup diced Cucumber
1 cup Spinach
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon juice, orange zest, a pinch of salt and pepper, and olive oil to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the quinoa salad by combining cooked quinoa, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and spinach in a mixing bowl. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Slice the chicken and serve atop the vibrant quinoa salad. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
