INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
8 spears Asparagus
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, and finely minced garlic.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely browned. During the last minute, drizzle the lemon garlic mixture over the chicken to glaze it.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus spears with a little salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Spread on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Reheat or prepare the pre-cooked quinoa as per package instructions if needed.
Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and quinoa, then drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
