INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup chopped Carrots
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, mixed fresh herbs, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Allow it to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Toss the chopped carrots in the remaining marinade ensuring they are well coated.
Spread the carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they become tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the carrots roast, season the chicken breast with a little extra salt and pepper before cooking. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and nicely browned.
Prepare quinoa as per package instructions if not already cooked, ensuring a light, fluffy texture.
Plate the dish by layering quinoa as the base, topping with sliced lemon-herb chicken and then the roasted carrots. Garnish with any extra herbs if desired.
