Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Tender chicken breast pan-seared with aromatic herbs and tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a bright, zesty lemon vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and the remaining salt, pepper, and oregano to create the dressing.
In a large serving bowl, combine the baby spinach, cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Add the sliced chicken to the bowl and drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the top.
Toss the salad gently to ensure everything is well-coated and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
