Tender Lemon-Herb Chicken and Quinoa Bowl
Sautéed chicken breast marinated in zesty lemon and fresh herbs served over a fluffy quinoa base with crisp vegetables for a bright and refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup dry quinoa
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 cup cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup cucumber
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry quinoa under cold water, then combine with 0.5 cup water in a small pot, bring to a boil, and simmer covered for 15 minutes until fluffy.
While the quinoa is cooking, season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside is golden.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and chop the cucumber into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the bowl by placing the baby spinach at the bottom, then topping it with the cooked quinoa and sliced chicken.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cucumber to the bowl, then drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the entire dish before serving.
