INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.67 cup cooked Quinoa
0.5 cup Red Bell Pepper, chopped
0.5 cup Zucchini, sliced
0.25 cup Red Onion, sliced
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Dried Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, chopped parsley, dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and coat it with the lemon-herb mixture. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, chop the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until they're tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small pot or microwave.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated chicken breast for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Plate the chicken alongside a serving of quinoa and the roasted vegetables. Garnish with any remaining fresh parsley and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
