INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cups Mixed Roasted Vegetables
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 Lemon
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tablespoon Mixed Fresh Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the juice of half a lemon, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub the herb-lemon mixture evenly over the chicken to create a crust.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breast for 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Surround with mixed vegetables that have been tossed in a little extra olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and vegetables are tender.
While the chicken and vegetables are roasting, prepare the cooked quinoa if not pre-cooked.
Plate the roasted chicken and vegetables over a bed of quinoa, and finish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
