Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Quinoa
Savor tender, juicy chicken breasts perfectly pan-seared in a zesty lemon garlic sauce, served alongside a light bed of fluffy quinoa. This dish balances vibrant citrus and aromatic garlic with the hearty goodness of lean protein, making it an ideal choice for a fulfilling meal at any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the pan, stirring gently to avoid burning, and pour in the lemon juice to create a quick pan sauce.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the pan-seared chicken over or alongside 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa, drizzling any remaining pan sauce over the top.
