Lemon Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a bright, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 cup baby spinach
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices before dicing into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and the fresh lemon juice until well combined.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, and baby spinach to the bowl.
Add the diced chicken to the bowl and toss all ingredients thoroughly until the salad is evenly coated in the lemon dressing.
