Savor the bright flavors of this pan-seared chicken dish where succulent chicken breast is enhanced with zesty lemon and a hint of pepper. Finished with a drizzle of olive oil and a burst of garlic, this dish is complemented by vibrant, steamed broccoli and a side of fluffy quinoa for a balanced, nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
1 cup Broccoli
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Squeeze the juice from the half lemon over the chicken, and mince the garlic clove to sprinkle evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden.
Flip the chicken breast and add the minced garlic; cook for another 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the garlic is fragrant.
While the chicken cooks, steam the broccoli until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Prepare the quinoa if not already done, ensuring it's warm when serving.
Plate the chicken with a side of steamed broccoli and half cup of cooked quinoa, and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
