INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh parsley, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub evenly with the herb mixture.
Heat half of the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
While the chicken bakes, rinse and drain the cooked quinoa, and place it in a separate bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute), then add lemon juice.
Pour the lemon garlic mixture over the quinoa and gently stir to combine.
Slice the chicken and serve atop a bed of the zesty lemon garlic quinoa. Enjoy while warm.
