Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp cucumbers and a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a bright, refreshing bite.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Cucumber
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat half of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the dressing in a large mixing bowl by whisking together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and minced garlic.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped parsley to the mixing bowl with the dressing, tossing thoroughly to combine.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Plate the quinoa salad and top with the sliced lemon-herb chicken, garnishing with an extra sprinkle of parsley if desired.
