Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp cucumbers and zesty lemon-herb dressing for a bright, refreshing lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with 0.125 tsp sea salt, 0.125 tsp black pepper, and 0.5 tsp dried oregano.
Heat 0.5 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 minutes per side until cooked through.
While the chicken rests, dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely mince the red onion.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 0.5 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, remaining 0.5 tsp dried oregano, and the rest of the salt and pepper.
Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized cubes.
Add the cooked quinoa, chopped vegetables, and chicken to the bowl with the dressing.
Toss everything together until well combined and top with freshly chopped parsley.
