Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Grilled chicken breast seasoned with zesty lemon and herbs, tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables for a refreshing lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with the dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes in a medium mixing bowl.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice until well combined.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized strips.
Pour the lemon-oil dressing over the quinoa and vegetables, add the fresh parsley, and toss thoroughly to coat.
Transfer the quinoa salad to a serving bowl and top with the warm sliced chicken.
