INGREDIENTS
1.1 oz Chicken Breast (31g)
1/4 cup dry Quinoa (56g)
1/2 cup steamed Green Beans (75g)
3 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat a small skillet over medium heat.
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped thyme to create the marinade.
Thinly slice the chicken breast (approximately 1.1 oz) to ensure quick and even cooking, then toss in the marinade until well-coated.
Sauté the marinated chicken in the skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, add the quinoa with double its volume of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
Steam the green beans until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Plate the dish by serving the sautéed lemon herb chicken atop a bed of quinoa with green beans on the side, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
