Crispy Spiced Chicken with Lemon and Garlic
Enjoy this savory dish featuring tender chicken breast coated in a blend of aromatic spices, zesty lemon, and fragrant garlic. Every bite delivers a satisfying crispness balanced with juicy, flavorful meat, accompanied by a light quinoa side for added texture and nutritional balance.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Chicken Breast
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, juice from the half lemon, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to form a marinade.
Coat the chicken breast evenly with the marinade, ensuring the spices and lemon garlic mixture covers all sides.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until the exterior is golden and crispy.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is finishing, gently reheat or fluff the cooked quinoa to serve as a nutritious side.
Plate the crispy spiced chicken alongside the quinoa, garnish with a few extra lemon wedges or chopped fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
