Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a zesty lemon-herb dressing for a bright and refreshing bite.
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 fresh parsley
1 tbsp feta cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with the dried oregano and half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 0.5 tbsp of the olive oil and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 0.5 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, and the remaining salt and pepper to create the dressing.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved tomatoes, and chopped parsley to the bowl and toss until well combined.
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and place them on top of the quinoa salad.
Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and serve.
