Lemon-Herb Chicken with Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with zest and herbs served over a vibrant quinoa salad tossed with crisp cucumbers and tangy lemon.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Cucumber
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and fresh lemon zest.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the quinoa mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure the salad is well-coated and bright.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 3 minutes to lock in the juices, then slice it into thin strips and serve immediately over the quinoa salad.
