INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Broccoli
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juice & zest)
1 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice and zest of 1/2 lemon, 1 tablespoon fresh mixed herbs, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Pat the 4-ounce chicken breast dry, then coat evenly in the lemon-herb mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden to achieve a crispy exterior.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking tray and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
Meanwhile, toss 1 cup of broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread out on a separate baking sheet. Roast in the oven alongside the chicken for about 10 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
Heat 1/2 cup of pre-cooked quinoa if needed, or fluff it freshly.
Plate the quinoa as the base, and top with the roasted chicken and broccoli. Garnish with a little extra lemon zest or herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
