Lemon-Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast and fluffy quinoa are tossed with crisp cucumbers and a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a bright, refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp finely diced red onion
0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp 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 with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and the remaining salt, pepper, and oregano in a small bowl to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh parsley.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized cubes.
Add the chicken to the salad bowl, drizzle with the lemon-herb dressing, and toss thoroughly to combine before serving.
