INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Asparagus (134g)
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa (92g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (parsley, thyme)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season it with salt, pepper, and half of the fresh herbs. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the chicken, and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, toss the asparagus with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breast in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking tray and place it in the oven along with the prepared asparagus. Roast for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is tender.
While the chicken and asparagus finish in the oven, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions until it becomes fluffy.
Plate the dish by placing a serving of quinoa on the plate, topping it with the sliced pan-seared chicken, and arranging the roasted asparagus on the side. Sprinkle any remaining fresh herbs over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutrient-packed meal.
