INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and dried thyme.
Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and pat dry. Brush both sides with the lemon-herb mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking tray and finish cooking in the oven for 10-12 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and place on a separate baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Prepare the quinoa as per package instructions if not pre-cooked.
Plate the quinoa as a base, top with sliced chicken breast, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Drizzle any remaining lemon-herb sauce over the dish.
Serve warm and enjoy a perfectly balanced meal full of vibrant flavors.
