INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil (for roasting)
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil (for searing)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for roasing the asparagus.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and minced garlic. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil (reserved for chicken searing) and mix well.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper. Then, marinate the chicken in the lemon garlic mixture for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus in 1 teaspoon olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
Place the asparagus in the preheated oven and roast for about 10-12 minutes until they are crispy-tender.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken. Sear the chicken breast for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Reheat or prepare the cooked quinoa as per package instructions if not pre-cooked. Fluff it with a fork before serving.
Plate the chicken with a side of crispy roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
