Lemon-Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Tender grilled chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a bright, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken breast
0.25 cup Dry quinoa
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.5 cup Diced cucumber
0.5 cup Halved cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup Chopped fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and place in a small pot with 0.5 cup of water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until fluffy.
Season the chicken breast evenly with the 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.
While the chicken and quinoa cool, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl to create the dressing.
Dice the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces and combine in a large bowl with the cooked quinoa, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and fresh parsley.
Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing over the salad and toss well to ensure every ingredient is coated before packing into a container for work.
