INGREDIENTS
5 oz Halal Chicken Breast
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by placing the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pounding it to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil and whisk until emulsified.
Marinate the chicken breast in the lemon-garlic mixture for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, steam the broccoli until it is tender yet crisp, around 5-7 minutes.
Cook the quinoa according to package instructions, usually simmering in water for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden.
Plate the seared chicken alongside the steamed broccoli and a serving of quinoa.
Optional: Drizzle any remaining marinade over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
