Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp cucumbers and a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a refreshing and vibrant lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp feta cheese
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and the remaining salt, pepper, and oregano in a large mixing bowl.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, minced red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing.
Toss the salad ingredients thoroughly until everything is well-coated and the flavors are combined.
Slice the warm chicken into thin strips and serve it over the quinoa salad, finishing with a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
