Lemon-Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp vegetables in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a refreshing and vibrant crunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
0.25 cup fresh parsley
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, minced red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl.
Add the sliced chicken to the bowl and toss all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and coated in the lemon-herb dressing.
