INGREDIENTS
1 piece (120g) Boneless Skinless Chicken Thigh
1 cup Broccoli Florets (156g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (111g)
1 tsp Olive Oil for chicken
1 tsp Olive Oil for broccoli
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil (reserve one teaspoon for the chicken and one for the broccoli), lemon juice, minced garlic, mixed dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
Pat the chicken thigh dry and rub half of the herb-lemon mixture evenly over it.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the edges are crispy.
While the chicken bakes, toss the broccoli florets with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them on another baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Prepare the quinoa according to package directions if not already cooked. Fluff with a fork.
To serve, plate the roasted chicken thigh alongside the crispy broccoli and a serving of fluffy quinoa. Drizzle any remaining herb-lemon mixture over the chicken if desired.
