Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Tender pan-seared chicken breast served over a zesty quinoa salad tossed with crisp cucumbers and a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup red onion
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
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 sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken rests, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely diced red onion in a large mixing bowl.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and finely chopped fresh parsley to create the vinaigrette.
Slice the rested chicken breast into thin strips or bite-sized cubes.
Pour the lemon-herb vinaigrette over the quinoa and vegetable mixture, toss thoroughly to coat, and top with the warm chicken slices.
