Mediterranean Herb-Roasted Chicken with Lemon
Savor the bright, aromatic notes of lemon and fresh Mediterranean herbs in this perfectly roasted chicken dish. Juicy chicken breast gets a flavorful lift from garlic, rosemary, and oregano, accented by a drizzle of olive oil and a burst of lemon. Paired with a side of lightly seasoned cherry tomatoes and fluffy quinoa, this well-balanced meal is both satisfying and refreshing.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/3 cup cooked Quinoa
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary
1 tsp Fresh Oregano
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice (from half a lemon), minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped oregano, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush generously with the herb-lemon marinade.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the exterior is golden.
While the chicken roasts, lightly steam or toss the cherry tomatoes with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Prepare your pre-cooked quinoa for serving.
Slice the roasted chicken and serve it over a bed of quinoa with the cherry tomatoes on the side, drizzling any remaining juices over the top for extra flavor.
