Enjoy a delightful pan-seared chicken breast with a crisp herb crust, finished with a bright, zesty lemon garlic sauce. The dish is perfectly balanced, offering a savory main with a touch of citrus zing, and is served alongside a small portion of fluffy quinoa to round out a nutritious, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for searing)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for sauce)
1 clove Garlic
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Mixed Fresh Herbs
1 quarter-cup Cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and the mixed fresh herbs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden brown crust forms and the chicken is nearly cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic to the pan, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the lemon juice and the additional teaspoon of olive oil into the pan, stirring gently to deglaze and combine the flavors into a light sauce.
Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the lemon garlic sauce over it, letting it simmer for another 2 minutes to finish cooking and absorb the flavors.
Serve the herb-crusted chicken with the quarter-cup of cooked quinoa on the side, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top.
