INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Roasted Broccoli
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
1 tablespoon Mixed Herbs (Thyme, Rosemary, Parsley)
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt, pepper, mixed herbs, and minced garlic. Zest the half lemon over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken on both sides until golden (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Transfer the chicken to an oven-safe dish and finish cooking in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is baking, toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and stir in a squeeze of lemon juice once cooked.
Plate the dish by placing a serving of lemon quinoa, topping with sliced herb-crusted chicken, and adding a side of roasted broccoli.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs and a light drizzle of extra lemon juice if desired.
