Lemon-Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Tender grilled chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a refreshing and vibrant bite.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp minced garlic
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked, then let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and the remaining sea salt, black pepper, and oregano to create the dressing.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing.
Toss the salad ingredients until thoroughly coated, then gently fold in the sliced grilled chicken.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
