Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp cucumbers, tomatoes, and a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a bright and refreshing bite.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp diced red onion
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 8 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 minced garlic in a large mixing bowl to create the vinaigrette.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl with the vinaigrette and toss until thoroughly combined.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
Transfer the quinoa salad to a serving plate and top with the sliced lemon-herb chicken.
