Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Tender grilled chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a zesty, bright lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup red onion
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic clove.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and chopped baby spinach to the bowl.
Add the diced chicken to the bowl and toss all ingredients thoroughly until the salad is evenly coated in the dressing.
