INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Broccoli
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator) for enhanced flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is grilling, cook the quinoa according to package instructions if not already prepared. Typically, combine rinsed quinoa with water, bring to a boil, then simmer covered for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Steam the broccoli until tender yet still vibrant green, about 4-5 minutes.
Plate the grilled chicken breast alongside the quinoa and steamed broccoli. Drizzle any remaining marinade lightly over the chicken if desired, and serve warm.
