INGREDIENTS
1 chicken thigh (150g, boneless, skinless)
1 cup green beans
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and dried thyme. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken thigh in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the green beans and quinoa.
Arrange the marinated chicken thigh on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, steam the green beans until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Prepare the cooked quinoa according to package instructions if not already done.
Plate the baked chicken thigh alongside the steamed green beans and quinoa. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chicken for added flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner.
