Zesty Lemon-Herb Chicken & Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp vegetables and a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette for a refreshing and vibrant meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with garlic powder, half of the sea salt, and half of the black pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken rests, whisk together the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, and the remaining salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, minced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl with the dressing.
Toss the salad thoroughly to ensure the quinoa and vegetables are well-coated in the vinaigrette.
Slice the rested chicken into thin strips and serve it atop the zesty quinoa salad.
