• 分量: 6 servings
• 調理時間: 20 minutes
• 総時間: 1 hour 5 minutes

材料

1 lb. bone-in chicken breast with skin-on

1 cup dry quinoa

1/2 English cucumber, chopped (2 cups)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/2 cup sliced green onions

1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced

1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

4 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, diced

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for roasting

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (1 – 1 1/2 lemons)

Kosher salt and fresh black pepper

Fresh mint, to garnish, optional

手順

Prepare the chicken

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Generously rub the chicken breast with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on each side. Bake on a parchment-lined pan for 40-45 minutes or until cooked through. When chicken is cool enough to handle, discard the skin, pull the meat off the bones and shred it using your hands or two forks.

Prepare the quinoa

Cook quinoa according to package directions. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then transfer to a large salad bowl. Cool for 10-15 minutes before adding in the rest of the ingredients.

Prepare the salad

To the quinoa, add shredded chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley, green onions, olives, feta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and pour over the salad. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
