INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil (for chicken)
1/2 tsp Extra Olive Oil (for spinach)
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the pan and let it infuse the chicken with flavor.
In a separate pan, heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just wilted. Season lightly with salt and a dash of pepper.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa if needed and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for a bright finish.
Plate the chicken alongside the quinoa and spinach. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chicken for added zest and serve immediately.
