Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a zesty lemon-herb dressing for a refreshing bite.
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
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp chopped fresh mint
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with the garlic powder and half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breast for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to 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 and pepper to create a bright vinaigrette.
Add the cooked quinoa, cubed chicken, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced red onion to the bowl.
Fold in the chopped parsley and mint, tossing gently to ensure every ingredient is coated in the herb dressing before serving.
