Zesty Grilled Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Grilled chicken breast served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables, finished with a bright and zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup cucumber
2 tbsp red onion
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the chicken is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely mince the red onion and fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and minced parsley to create the vinaigrette.
Add the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion to the bowl, tossing well to ensure everything is coated in the dressing.
Once the chicken has rested for 5 minutes, slice it into thin strips and arrange it over the top of the quinoa salad.
