INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon
2 Garlic Cloves
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of one lemon, minced garlic (from 2 cloves), and olive oil to create the marinade.
Coat the chicken breast evenly with the marinade and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions to achieve fluffy texture.
Plate the cooked quinoa and slice the chicken breast before placing it on top. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chicken for extra flavor.
Garnish with a light squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of salt and pepper as desired, then serve immediately.
