Lemon Herb Chicken 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 finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 cup Diced cucumber
0.5 cup Halved cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp Minced red onion
1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp Crumbled feta cheese
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the chicken cooks, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, minced red onion, and chopped parsley in a large mixing bowl.
Once the chicken is finished, remove it from the pan and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized cubes.
Add the sliced chicken to the quinoa mixture and drizzle with the fresh lemon juice.
Toss all ingredients together until well combined and the dressing is evenly distributed.
Transfer the salad to a plate or bowl and top with the crumbled feta cheese before serving.
