Crispy Lemon-Herb Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus and Fluffy Quinoa
Enjoy a vibrant plate of pan-seared chicken infused with a zesty lemon-herb marinade paired with tender roasted asparagus and light, fluffy quinoa. This dish offers a satisfying crunch and freshness that balances beautifully with the savory, crispy chicken skin.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
1 cup Asparagus (134g)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (93g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice, ~30g)
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Thyme) (8g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, combine the juice and zest of the half lemon with olive oil and chopped fresh herbs. Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the exterior is crispy and golden.
While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with a splash of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast on a baking sheet for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Prepare quinoa according to package directions, ensuring it turns out light and fluffy.
Plate the pan-seared chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of fluffy quinoa. Garnish with any remaining fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
