Grilled Chicken Breast with Creamy Quinoa and Roasted Broccoli
Enjoy a balanced and satisfying lunch featuring perfectly grilled chicken breast accompanied by a silky, creamy quinoa and roasted broccoli dish. The tender chicken, infused with a hint of olive oil and herbs, pairs wonderfully with the nutty flavor of quinoa enriched with a splash of milk and a drizzle of olive oil. Roasted broccoli finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan adds a deliciously savory crunch to each bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup dry Quinoa
1/4 cup Nonfat Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil (for quinoa)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for broccoli)
1 tsp Olive Oil (drizzle over chicken)
1 cup Broccoli
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, rinse the quinoa and add it to a small saucepan with 1/4 cup of quinoa and 1/2 cup water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Stir in 1/4 cup of nonfat milk and 1 teaspoon olive oil into the cooked quinoa to create a creamy texture; season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Once the broccoli is done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese.
Slice the grilled chicken, plate alongside a serving of creamy quinoa, and add the roasted broccoli. Serve immediately.
