Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables, all tossed in a bright, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette that adds a refreshing zing.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup dry quinoa
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa and combine with 0.5 cup of water in a small pot; bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes, then finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and toss it in a large bowl with the chopped vegetables, parsley, and prepared dressing.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and serve it over the quinoa salad for a vibrant and satisfying meal.
