INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
100 g Fresh Asparagus
0.25 cup Dry Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook it according to the package instructions until it's fluffy.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
While the asparagus is roasting, pat the chicken breast dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown crust.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken during the last minute of cooking for a bright, tangy flavor.
Plate the chicken with a side of roasted asparagus and a serving of fluffy quinoa. Enjoy your balanced, protein-packed dinner!
