Zesty Grilled Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Grilled chicken breast served over a vibrant bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables tossed in a bright, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely minced red onion.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa and vegetable mixture, add the chopped fresh parsley, and toss well to coat.
Transfer the salad to a plate and top with the sliced grilled chicken to serve.
