Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp cucumbers and bright lemon-herb dressing for a refreshing, protein-packed lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, minced red onion, and chopped parsley.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture, toss well to combine, and serve topped with the sliced warm chicken.
