INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by patting the chicken breast dry and seasoning it with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and olive oil to create a marinade, then drizzle over the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 425°F and toss the asparagus with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the asparagus on a baking sheet for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Plate the quinoa, add the roasted asparagus, and top with slices of the lemon garlic chicken.
Finish with an optional squeeze of fresh lemon over the dish and serve warm.
