Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Bowl
Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served over fluffy quinoa with a crisp, refreshing cucumber and tomato salad.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup quinoa
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and the minced garlic.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.
While the chicken is cooking, fluff the pre-cooked quinoa in a bowl and toss it with half of the lemon juice and the fresh parsley.
Dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Once the chicken is finished, let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Assemble the bowl by placing the quinoa at the base and topping it with the sliced chicken, cucumber, and tomatoes.
Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the entire bowl and serve immediately.
