Lemon-Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp cucumbers in a zesty lemon-herb dressing for a refreshing midday meal.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup diced cucumber
2 tbsp minced red onion
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with half of the salt, pepper, and oregano, then pan-sear until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Allow the chicken to cool completely in the refrigerator before dicing it into bite-sized cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and the remaining salt, pepper, and oregano to create the dressing.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, minced red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl.
Fold in the chilled chicken cubes and toss everything until well-coated in the dressing.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for a refreshing cold lunch.
