Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp minced red onion
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat half of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, whisk the remaining olive oil and fresh lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, fresh parsley, and red onion to the bowl.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 3 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
Toss the chicken into the quinoa mixture until the salad is thoroughly coated in the dressing.
