Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa, crisp vegetables, and a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a bright and refreshing midday meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
2 tbsp fresh parsley
0.5 oz feta cheese
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the avocado oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the center is cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely mince the red onion and parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and the remaining salt, pepper, and oregano to emulsify the dressing.
Add the cooked quinoa, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and parsley to the bowl, tossing thoroughly to ensure every grain is coated in the vinaigrette.
Slice the rested chicken breast into thin strips or bite-sized pieces and fold them into the salad along with the crumbled feta cheese before serving.
