Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with zesty lemon and herbs, tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables for a refreshing, protein-packed lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.25 cup Dry quinoa
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.5 cup English cucumber
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp Red onion
2 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and place in a small pot with 0.5 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until fluffy.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken rests, whisk together the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely mince the red onion and fresh parsley.
Add the cooked quinoa and chopped vegetables to the mixing bowl with the dressing and toss thoroughly to combine.
Slice the chicken into bite-sized strips and serve it over the quinoa salad for a clean and vibrant meal.
