INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Roasted Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Sautéed Spinach
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Lemon Juice (from about one lemon)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss chopped red bell pepper with half the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the peppers roast, lightly season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and a drizzle of lemon juice. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
Once the chicken is seared, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Simultaneously, prepare the quinoa as per package instructions if not pre-cooked. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork.
In a separate pan, quickly sauté spinach with a splash of lemon juice and a pinch of salt until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken and plate it over a base of quinoa. Arrange the roasted bell peppers and sautéed spinach alongside, drizzle any remaining lemon juice over the top, and serve immediately.
