INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season it with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared chicken to the baking sheet. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle any remaining herbs over the top.
Place trimmed asparagus on the same baking sheet, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Roast in the oven for about 15-18 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and asparagus is tender.
Meanwhile, prepare quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked.
Serve the crispy lemon herb chicken atop a bed of quinoa with roasted asparagus on the side.
