INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 tsp Fresh Rosemary
0.5 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and lemon zest.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil shimmers, add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms.
Flip the chicken and reduce the heat to medium, cooking for another 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, steam or lightly roast the asparagus until tender-crisp.
Reheat the cooked quinoa if necessary or serve it at room temperature as a bed for the chicken.
Plate the chicken breast over the quinoa and arrange the asparagus on the side. Drizzle any pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
