Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Grilled chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a bright and refreshing lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Preheat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with a mist of oil if needed.
Grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5 minutes to keep it juicy before slicing into strips.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice until emulsified.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing.
Toss the salad thoroughly to ensure the quinoa and vegetables are well-coated, then top with the sliced chicken and serve.
