Grilled Citrus-Garlic Chicken Breast with Sofrito Quinoa Salad
Tender chicken breast marinated in lime and garlic, grilled and served over a sofrito-spiced quinoa salad with crisp bell peppers.
INGREDIENTS
5.3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Canned Black Beans
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Diced Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Diced Red Onion
1 clove Minced Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, minced garlic, and half of the olive oil to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, heat the remaining olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the red onion and bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften to create a quick sofrito base.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, and the sautéed vegetable mixture.
Toss the quinoa salad thoroughly and season with a pinch of salt or fresh cilantro if desired.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips and serve immediately over the warm sofrito quinoa salad.
