Crispy Pan-Seared Chicken Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp vegetables, drizzled with a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a bright and refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup mixed greens
0.25 cup cucumber
0.25 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until the exterior is golden-brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken rests, combine the cooked quinoa, mixed greens, sliced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes in a large serving bowl.
In a small jar, whisk together the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the lemon juice to create a light vinaigrette.
Slice the warm chicken breast into thin strips and arrange them over the salad, then drizzle the entire dish with the lemon dressing.
