Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Seared lemon-herb chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa, crisp cucumbers, and fresh parsley for a bright and refreshing midday meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 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
1 clove minced garlic
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and minced garlic.
Heat 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the remaining olive oil and the fresh lemon juice in a small bowl to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl or meal-prep container, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped fresh parsley.
Once the chicken has rested for a few minutes, slice it into bite-sized strips and add it to the quinoa and vegetable mixture.
Drizzle the lemon dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined and vibrant.
