Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa, crisp cucumbers, and juicy tomatoes in a bright, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
2 tbsp fresh parsley
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and the remaining salt, pepper, and oregano to create the dressing.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl.
Toss the salad ingredients thoroughly until everything is well-coated in the lemon-herb dressing.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken and serve immediately while the chicken is still warm or chilled.
