Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Tender grilled chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a zesty lemon-herb dressing for a refreshing midday meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup Cucumber
2 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before dicing into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced cucumbers.
Whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice in a small jar to create a bright vinaigrette.
Fold the diced chicken and chopped fresh parsley into the quinoa and vegetable mixture.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to ensure every grain is coated before packing into a lunch container.
