INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, juice from half a lemon, minced garlic, and finely chopped rosemary and thyme.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and rub the herb mixture evenly over it.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and slightly golden.
Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and mix in a little extra lemon juice if desired. Serve the sliced chicken over a bed of quinoa and garnish with additional fresh herbs if preferred.
