Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared herb chicken tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp vegetables in a bright, zesty lemon dressing for a refreshing and filling lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp minced red onion
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 clove minced garlic
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 medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, minced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing into bite-sized strips.
Add the sliced chicken to the bowl with the quinoa and vegetables, drizzle with the lemon dressing, and toss gently to combine before serving.
