Mediterranean Chickpea and Quinoa Bowl
Pan-seared chicken and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp cucumbers and buttery chickpeas, finished with a creamy lemon-tahini dressing.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup chickpeas
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup red onion
0.5 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with a portion of the sea salt, black pepper, and all of the dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini and lemon juice with a splash of warm water and the remaining salt and pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Layer the cooked quinoa and rinsed chickpeas in a large serving bowl and toss gently to combine.
Add the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely diced red onion to the bowl.
Slice the warm chicken breast into thin strips and place them on top of the vegetables.
Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the entire bowl and serve immediately while the chicken is still warm.
