Simple Marinated Grilled Chicken with Tomato and Avocado Salad Over Quinoa


Aren't these gorgeous?!

Simple Marinated Grilled Chicken


4 grilled chicken breast
1 tbs olive oil
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/2 tsp oregano
A couple dashes salt and pepper

Place all of the above in a large plastic baggie and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill and grill chicken on each side for about 8 minutes on each side or until juices run clear and inside is no longer pink.

Tomato and Avocado Salad
I came across these gorgeous little heirloom cherry tomatoes at a farmers market and had to get them. They were sweet and juicy and perfect along side avocado.

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halving the larger ones
1 firm, but ripe avocado
1 tbs red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Combine above and serve over chicken.

For the quinoa:
Combine 2 cups water and 1 cup quinoa and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until grain is soft and germ ring is visible.
