INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Quinoa
1 cup Broccoli
1.5 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 whole Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, juice from the lemon, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is grilling, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with water (using a 1:2 ratio), bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli florets with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until the edges are crispy.
Plate a serving of quinoa, top with sliced grilled chicken, and arrange roasted broccoli on the side. Squeeze additional lemon juice over the top if desired, and serve warm.
