Lemon-Herb Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Tender pan-seared chicken breast and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp cucumbers and tangy feta in a zesty, aromatic lemon vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 oz feta cheese
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a small drizzle of the olive oil and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken rests, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and the rest of the oregano in a large mixing bowl.
Add the fluffy cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing.
Slice the rested chicken breast into bite-sized strips and add them to the salad along with the crumbled feta cheese.
Toss all ingredients together until well-coated in the vinaigrette and serve immediately.
