Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a bright, zesty lemon vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp feta cheese
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced red onion.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice to create the dressing.
Add the cubed chicken to the quinoa and vegetable mixture.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is well-coated.
Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
