Grilled Chicken and Quinoa Salad with Crunchy Vegetables
Grilled chicken and fluffy quinoa tossed with garden vegetables and a lemon vinaigrette, topped with buttery sliced avocado.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.25 medium Avocado
0.5 cup chopped Cucumber
0.5 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
0.25 cup shredded Carrots
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and cook according to the package directions until fluffy.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized cubes.
While the chicken rests, dice the cucumber and red bell pepper, and shred the carrots.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of dried oregano or fresh parsley.
Add the cooked quinoa, chopped vegetables, and grilled chicken to the bowl and toss well to combine.
Transfer the salad to a plate and top with fresh slices of buttery avocado before serving.
