Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast served over a zesty quinoa salad with crisp cucumbers and bright cherry tomatoes tossed in a vibrant lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
0.5 cup Diced cucumber
0.5 cup Halved cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp Minced red onion
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 Chopped fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil to coat the pan.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and the rest of the salt, pepper, and oregano to create the dressing.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh parsley to the bowl with the dressing.
Toss the salad ingredients thoroughly until everything is well-coated and the flavors are combined.
Transfer the quinoa salad to a serving plate and top with the sliced lemon-herb chicken.
