Grilled Chicken Breast with Quinoa and Crunchy Vegetable Salad
Grilled chicken breast marinated in lemon and herbs, served over a colorful quinoa and vegetable salad with a toasted pepita crunch.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 ounces Chicken Breast
3/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Canned Chickpeas
1.5 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Diced Cucumber
1/2 cup Diced Red Bell Pepper
1/3 medium Avocado
1/2 tablespoon Pumpkin Seeds
PREPARATION
Whisk together fresh lemon juice, half of the olive oil, and a pinch of dried oregano in a small bowl, then coat the chicken breast evenly.
Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for approximately 6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Prepare the quinoa by simmering in water or vegetable broth until fluffy and all liquid is absorbed.
Dice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and avocado into uniform bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced vegetables, and drained chickpeas.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon over the quinoa mixture and toss gently to combine.
Slice the grilled chicken breast into thin strips and arrange them over the quinoa salad.
Garnish the dish with pumpkin seeds to add a toasted, nutty texture before serving.
