Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast served over fluffy quinoa with crisp cucumbers and tangy lemon dressing for a refreshing lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 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 chopped fresh parsley
0.5 oz crumbled feta cheese
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil until emulsified.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl, tossing well to ensure everything is coated in the dressing.
Transfer the quinoa salad to a serving bowl, top with the sliced chicken strips, and garnish with crumbled feta cheese.
