Leon-Style Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Tender grilled chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and vibrant fresh herbs, finished with a bright lemon vinaigrette and sweet pomegranate seeds.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup cucumber
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh mint
2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped parsley, and chopped mint.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice until emulsified.
Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl and drizzle the dressing over the top.
Toss all ingredients gently until well combined and garnish with the pomegranate seeds for a burst of sweetness.
