INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Rosemary & Thyme)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, chopped fresh herbs, a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and brush with the lemon-herb mixture.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is roasting, slice the zucchini into rounds.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a light drizzle of olive oil, and sauté the zucchini until tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Reheat the pre-cooked quinoa if needed, or serve it at room temperature alongside the chicken and zucchini.
Plate the chicken with the tender zucchini and quinoa, drizzling any remaining lemon-herb mixture over the top for extra flavor.
