INGREDIENTS
8 oz Chicken Breast
2/3 cup dry Quinoa
1.5 cups chopped Broccoli
5 spears Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Allow it to rest before slicing.
While the chicken is cooking, rinse the quinoa under cold water. Combine it with water in a small saucepan (use a 2:1 water-to-quinoa ratio) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
Steam or lightly blanch the chopped broccoli and asparagus spears until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, steamed broccoli, and asparagus. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the grilled chicken breast and serve it atop or alongside the quinoa salad. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
