Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Chicken Breast with Quinoa
Savor a beautifully pan-seared chicken breast adorned with a delicate herb and parmesan crust, perfectly paired with a light side of fluffy quinoa. This dish offers a warm and comforting blend of savory flavors with a gentle crunch from the crust, finishing with a hint of fresh herbs and a subtle lemon zest.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Chicken Breast (~198g)
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (~93g)
1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken to create the herb crust. Add lemon zest on top for a fresh touch.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, 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, heat or prepare the cooked quinoa according to package instructions if not already done.
Plate the chicken breast alongside the quinoa, and garnish with a sprinkle of additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
