Savor a perfectly seared chicken breast paired with a colorful medley of roasted vegetables, nutty quinoa, and a creamy touch of avocado. This dish balances lean protein and healthy fats, delivering a wholesome, satisfying, and vibrant dinner plate.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Mixed Vegetables (Bell Pepper, Zucchini, Red Onion)
1/4 cup dry Quinoa
1/4 medium Avocado
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa with water (use about 1/2 cup water for 1/4 cup dry quinoa), bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Slice the avocado into cubes or thin slices.
Assemble the plate by placing the seared chicken breast, a serving of quinoa, roasted vegetables, and avocado. Drizzle any remaining lemon juice over the top for added brightness.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced dinner.
