Grilled Chicken and Quinoa Salad with Crunchy Vegetables
Grilled chicken breast and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp bell peppers and cucumbers in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a refreshing, crunchy finish.
INGREDIENTS
130g Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Canned Chickpeas
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup diced Cucumber
2 tbsp diced Red Onion
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package directions and set aside to cool slightly.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper, then grill over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, dice the red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion into small bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley to create the dressing.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or dicing it into cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, diced vegetables, and chicken.
Pour the lemon-herb dressing over the salad and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated before serving.
