Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Tender chicken breast sautéed with zesty lemon and fresh herbs, tossed into a vibrant quinoa salad with crisp cucumbers and juicy tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
1 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, toss together the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.
Drizzle the lemon juice and sprinkle the lemon zest over the salad, mixing well to ensure the grains are fully brightened.
Gently fold in the chicken pieces and crumbled feta cheese, then serve this refreshing salad immediately.
