Chicken and Chickpea Feta Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa, crisp cucumbers, and briny feta in a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.25 cup canned chickpeas
0.5 oz feta cheese
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the chicken is cooking, dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and finely chopped fresh parsley to create the dressing.
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas, then add them to the bowl along with the cooked quinoa, cucumber, and tomatoes.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized strips and add them to the salad.
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and toss everything together until well combined and coated in the dressing.
