Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Tender chicken breast pan-seared with aromatic oregano and garlic, tossed in a vibrant lemon-herb quinoa salad with crisp cucumbers and juicy tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup English cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat half of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley. Dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Add the cooked quinoa, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Toss thoroughly to combine.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Transfer the quinoa salad to a plate and top with the sliced lemon-herb chicken. Serve immediately.
