Lemon-Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Tender grilled chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a bright and refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and the remaining salt, pepper, and oregano to create the dressing.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing.
Toss the salad thoroughly until all ingredients are well-combined and coated.
Fold in the sliced chicken breast and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for a cold meal prep option.
