INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
2 cups Broccoli
1.5 tsp Olive Oil
Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and finish cooking in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, rinse 1/2 cup of quinoa under cold water. Combine with water (use a 1:2 ratio of quinoa to water) in a small pot, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15 minutes until fluffy.
Cut the broccoli into florets. Toss with 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, turning once, until tender and slightly crisp.
Plate the seared chicken breast alongside the cooked quinoa and roasted broccoli. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed lunch.
