Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Broccoli and Quinoa
Enjoy tender, juicy chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and aromatic garlic, perfectly paired with crisp roasted broccoli and a side of fluffy quinoa. This balanced dish offers a burst of fresh flavors and a satisfying texture with every bite.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil (for broccoli)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for chicken marinade)
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
Begin by marinating the chicken: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and 1 minced garlic clove. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then coat evenly with the marinade.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breast and pan-sear for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli florets with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the broccoli in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are slightly crispy yet tender.
Meanwhile, prepare quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked.
Plate the dish by slicing the chicken breast, then serving alongside the roasted broccoli and a side of fluffy quinoa. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chicken for extra flavor.
