INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Mixed Vegetables (Zucchini, Bell Peppers, Carrots)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Thyme, Rosemary)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and coat it thoroughly with the lemon-herb marinade. Allow it to steep for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the vegetables roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breast for 2 minutes on each side to get a nice golden color.
Transfer the seared chicken to an oven-safe dish and finish cooking it in the oven for another 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Warm the cooked quinoa if needed and plate it as the base of your meal.
Slice the roasted chicken and serve it atop the quinoa, alongside a generous serving of crispy roasted vegetables.
Finish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
