Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp cucumbers and zesty lemon-herb dressing for a refreshing midday meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup cucumber
1 oz feta cheese
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before dicing it into bite-sized cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cucumber.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad, add the crumbled feta cheese and finely chopped parsley, and toss everything together until well combined.
