Enjoy a vibrant and aromatic dish featuring tender, pan-seared chicken breast encrusted with fresh herbs, enhanced by a bright lemon garlic sauce. This dish pairs perfectly with fluffy quinoa for a balanced, healthy meal that delivers on both flavor and nourishment.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
2 tbsp Lemon Juice (30g)
2 Garlic Cloves (6g)
1 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (92g)
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and the mixed fresh herbs.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the lemon juice and minced garlic in a small bowl.
After searing the chicken, lower the heat and pour the lemon garlic mixture into the pan, gently stirring to deglaze and coat the chicken.
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Serve the herb-crusted chicken over the prepared 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa, drizzling any remaining lemon garlic sauce on top.
