Lemon-Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp cucumbers and a zesty lemon-herb dressing for a refreshing and vibrant lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
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
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp fresh parsley
0.5 oz feta cheese
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped fresh parsley.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the quinoa mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is well coated.
Divide the quinoa salad into serving bowls and top with the sliced lemon-herb chicken.
Finish the dish by sprinkling the crumbled feta cheese over the top before serving.
