Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Bowl
Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with zesty lemon and fresh herbs served over fluffy quinoa with a crisp cucumber and tomato salad.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup cucumber
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 oz feta cheese
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp fine sea salt
0.25 tsp ground black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with the dried oregano, fine sea salt, and ground black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 8 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby spinach, tomatoes, and cucumber, then toss thoroughly with the fresh lemon juice.
Remove the chicken from the pan, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
Assemble the bowl by placing the cooked quinoa at the bottom, topping with the lemon-dressed salad and sliced chicken, and garnishing with the crumbled feta cheese.
