Zesty Lemon Herb Pasta Salad
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with whole grain pasta and crisp vegetables in a bright, zesty lemon vinaigrette that adds a refreshing tang to every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.75 cup whole grain pasta
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup cucumber
0.25 cup red bell pepper
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh parsley to create the dressing.
Add the cooked whole grain pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and diced red bell pepper to the bowl.
Incorporate the sliced chicken and toss all ingredients thoroughly until the pasta and vegetables are well coated in the zesty dressing.
