INGREDIENTS
1.4 oz Chicken Breast (approx 40g)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (approx 92g)
1 cup steamed Broccoli (approx 156g)
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for searing)
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for drizzling)
1/4 avocado (approx 50g)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
Juice and zest of 1/4 Lemon
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix minced garlic with the olive oil and lemon juice/zest.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat, then add the chicken breast. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the quinoa by warming it and folding in a little of the garlic-lemon mixture to infuse flavor.
Steam the broccoli until tender, approximately 5-6 minutes, and season lightly with salt.
Plate the dish by layering the garlic quinoa, placing the seared chicken on top, and adding the steamed broccoli on the side.
Finish by drizzling 1 tablespoon olive oil over the entire plate and topping with sliced avocado. Serve immediately.
