Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Zesty lemon-marinated chicken breast grilled to perfection and tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp cucumbers in a vibrant herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cucumber
0.25 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped fresh parsley.
Once the chicken has rested for 5 minutes, slice it into thin strips.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss well to coat.
Top the salad with the sliced chicken and serve immediately.
